“…In Abidin et al [ 70 ], a MEMS piezoelectric generator is used to harvest energy from vibrations; it also uses supercapacitors as storage elements. An example of a MEMS designed for implantable devices is given in Martinez-Quijada and Chowdhury [ 71 ], where it is stated that the micro-generator is able to generate more energy per unit volume than conventional batteries; that is, an RMS power of 390 μW for 1 mm 2 of footprint area and a thickness of 500 μm, which is smaller than the volume of a typical battery in a pacemaker. Another approach is based on the use of fuel cells.…”

The first part of this paper reviews the current development and key issues on implantable multi-sensor devices for in vivo theranostics. Afterwards, the authors propose an innovative biomedical multisensory system for in vivo biomarker monitoring that could be suitable for customized theranostics applications. At this point, findings suggest that cross-cutting Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) could improve the overall performance of the system given that the convergence of technologies in nanotechnology, biotechnology, micro&nanoelectronics and advanced materials permit the development of new medical devices of small dimensions, using biocompatible materials, and embedding reliable and targeted biosensors, high speed data communication, and even energy autonomy. Therefore, this article deals with new research and market challenges of implantable sensor devices, from the point of view of the pervasive system, and time-to-market. The remote clinical monitoring approach introduced in this paper could be based on an array of biosensors to extract information from the patient. A key contribution of the authors is that the general architecture introduced in this paper would require minor modifications for the final customized bio-implantable medical device.
