Wireless powering for bioelectronics
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Miniaturized bioelectronic devices hold promise as a new class of medicine based on modulating neural signals that control functions in the body. With advances in semiconductor technology, bioelectronic devices at the scale of a millimeter or less are within reach, but no suitable method for powering them deep in the body has been demonstrated. This dissertation focuses on the development of wireless methods for powering small-scale electronic devices implanted in living systems. We describe the theoretical basis for wireless systems based on wave interactions with biological tissue, and demonstrate applications of these systems to powering small scale bioelectronic devices in both computational studies and animal experiments. The approaches developed here may enable new generations of bioelectronic devices for accessing and modulating the neural states underlying disease and health.
