New diagnostics with wireless pressure monitoring

Med Device Technol. 2008 Sep;19(5):23-5.

Abstract

Hypertonia and heart failures have become two of the main diseases affecting today's human population. A telemetric controlled sensor implant without a battery is being developed and evaluated with in vivo experiments for use as a powerful tool in long-term post surgical evaluation of heart pressure, body temperature and pulse rate. Its capabilities are reported here.
