“…The implantable and wearable medical devices encompass a wide range of applications, which can be categorized as follows: 1) brain-related diseases and neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs): brain-machine interfaces (BMIs), deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes and implants, neuro-stimulator, neuro-prosthetics, optogenetic implants, and brain-wearables for monitoring NDD-related motor impairments [1], [13], [14], cochlear implant, retinal implant [1], [3], 2) cardiovascular diseases: pacemakers, defibrillators, ventricular assist devices (VADs) [1], [15], stents, cardiac loop recorders [16], 3) tissue repair and regeneration: photo-bio-modulation (PBM) and lowlevel light/laser therapy (LLLT) [17]- [19], 4) gastrointestinal diseases and urology: wireless capsule endoscopy [5], [6], insulin pump, implanted bladder stimulator [20], 5) monitoring multiple physiological parameters in real-time: implantable and wearable biosensors [1], smart electronic contact lens [21], fitness tracker, smart textiles with integration of wearable medical devices (WMDs) [22], and 6) others: orthopedic implants, foot drop implants, bone growth stimulator [1], [20], floating implants capable of electromyography (EMG) sensing [23], portable pulse monitoring [24], doppler ultrasound blood flowmeter used for a smart graft [25] and more.…”
