Abstract:Wireless implantable devices (WIDs) have the potential to revolutionize biomedical sensing, but their power supplies face significant challenges. Traditional energy transfer methods such as inductive and RF have limitations due to associated tissue losses. This work demonstrates a promising approach to this problem, using a flexible implantable ultrasound energy harvester (IUEH) made of biocompatible Poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoro ethylene) (P(VDF-TrFe)) free-standing film. Unlike commonly used piezoce… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
