In Vivo Wireless Monitoring System of Cardiovascular Force Data.
This paper describes development of a fully implantable biotelemetry system that wirelessly transmits cardiac biomechanical force data along with ECG. The system uses a microcontroller with a bidirectional RF transceiver and was tested in a porcine model. The authors report successful transmission and recording of ECG and force data at a 5 m range, supporting feasibility for in vivo monitoring.
Key points
- A fully implantable telemetric system was developed to measure cardiac force data and ECG in experimental animals.
- The implant includes a microcontroller with a bidirectional RF transceiver for wireless send/receive.
- ECG was acquired via electrodes placed directly on the heart and forces via a miniature force transducer.
- In a porcine model, the system transmitted ECG and force data over a 5 m distance to a receiver.
- Data were displayed and stored on a laptop using custom software.
- The abstract does not report RF frequency, output power, or exposure metrics such as SAR.
