Empowering cardiac health with battery-free implants
Funder: Innovate UK
Lead academic: Prof Andreas Demosthenous
Project amount: £34,996
Research themes: Bio-medical engineering
Project period: 16 Sep 2024 - 13 Dec 2024
Project description: The proposed concept centres around a revolutionary implantable device designed to harness energy from the heart's motion, providing continuous power to a system-on-chip (SoC) used for monitoring cardiovascular health. This innovation leverages a novel sensor and material fabrication technique to achieve unprecedented low power consumption.
