An implant device for use within the body comprises: a data source; and an antenna for backscatter communications with an external communication system; wherein the implant device is arranged to control the backscattering properties of the antenna in order to thereby transmit data from the data source to the external communications system.
View on Google Patents →An implant device for use within the body comprises: a data source; and a non-self-resonant antenna for backscatter communications with an external communication system. The non-self-resonant antenna comprises at least two electrodes including two conductive patches that are arranged to be spaced apart when the implant device is in use. The implant device is arranged to control the backscattering properties of the antenna in order to thereby transmit data from the data source to the external communications system.

View on WIPO PatentScope →Wireless capsule endoscopy is a fast-growing technology in healthcare systems. Due to using battery for powering the camera, light source, wireless communication, and other electronics, it has substantial limitations with the image quality, frame rate, and operating time. In this work, we propose a novel analog backscatter video transmission approach for wireless capsule endoscopy.
View on IEEE Xplore →In this paper, we study the radio frequency (RF) backscatter for high data rate wireless communication with deep medical implants. The radar approach permits remote reading of the implant's information. This means that the active transmitter is removed from the implant that results in significant power saving and size reduction.
View on IEEE Xplore →We develop a battery-free communication system for a wireless video capsule endoscope with potential video streaming of a rate of up to 15 Mbps. We apply our innovative approach using backscatter for implants, a RADAR approach that remotely reads the information from the deep implants, such as the video capsule endoscope.
