Wearable Wireless Power Supply and Data Communication Device for Small Battery Free Implant
This is a Near-Field Communication (NFC) enabled technology that can be embedded in wearable materials to charge battery-free implants. It allows for the implants to be charged by power casters from a distance, meaning they remain fully operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for months on end. It will also reduce the space a battery on an implantable...
