Preservation of Implanted Medical Device's Battery Power

Abstract

Advancements in wireless communication and integrated circuit technology has increased the importance of WBAN. WBAN,s provide real time health monitoring and health updates of the patient to the physician for a longer period of time. IMD"s are usually used to monitor and diagnose various medical conditions of the patient. Even though IMD"s are intelligent devices, in some cases they become more prone to attacks. Therefore a strong authentication mechanism has become mandatory for the IMD"s. Since IMD"s are extremely small in size and power constraints, the battery drains frequently. Recharging of these IMD"s implies surgeries or laparoscopy. This paper deals with the overcoming of the disadvantage of frequent surgeries. To preserve the IMD battery power the incoming signals are offloaded to an external device that can be recharged easily unlike the IMD. This will decrease the number of surgeries that are done to recharge it.

“…Several applications make use of IoT in data gathering process from smart environment like transports, homes, hospitals, cities and so on. Because of the growth in the IoT-based healthcare devices and sensors, lot of researchers are showing interest in that filed (Ganesan et al, 2015a). The rise of expensive medications and presence of various diseases globally, it importantly necessitates the revolution of healthcare from a hospital centric structure to patient-centric structure.…”
