“…In this design, several resistive strain gauges were bonded to the spine and wired to a subcutaneous telemetry device produced by Microstrain, Inc. (Burlington, VT, USA). A piezoresistive pressure sensor [ 96 ] was similarly implanted in pigs to monitor intradiscal hydrostatic pressure using the V-Link wireless sensor node (Microstrain, Inc., Burlington, VT) [ 97 ]. These smart prosthetics are usually active devices powered by battery or remote power.…”

Wireless technologies are incorporated in implantable devices since at least the 1950s. With remote data collection and control of implantable devices, these wireless technologies help researchers and clinicians to better understand diseases and to improve medical treatments. Today, wireless technologies are still more commonly used for research, with limited applications in a number of clinical implantable devices. Recent development and standardization of wireless technologies present a good opportunity for their wider use in other types of implantable devices, which will significantly improve the outcomes of many diseases or injuries. This review briefly describes some common wireless technologies and modern advancements, as well as their strengths and suitability for use in implantable medical devices. The applications of these wireless technologies in treatments of orthopedic and cardiovascular injuries and disorders are described. This review then concludes with a discussion on the technical challenges and potential solutions of implementing wireless technologies in implantable devices.

“…When exposed to a low-frequency AC magnetic field, the soft magnetic material generated secondary magnetic fields that also included the higher order harmonic modes. Glos et al [60] used a commercial MEMS pressure sensor die to monitor stress in a vertebral element. This is an interesting example of the adaptation of an existing, relatively high-volume part to a medical application, which in general can be a simplifying approach.…”

This review evaluates example technologies from the point-of-view of likely translation into human use, including regulatory clearance, insertion into common medical practice and reimbursability. The intent is to highlight recent innovations in implantable sensors with a focus on the translational process itself in a holistic fashion. As well as looking at success stories, this review will also examine several seemingly promising technologies that have failed for reasons having nothing to do with the operational aspects of the sensors and systems involved. Innovation must be viewed as a multifaceted process, all segments of which must be fully addressed to achieve success. No party to the process can work in isolation and expect to achieve the end goal of providing new advances to patients. This review will have succeeded if it provides the reader with a better appreciation of the complex environment in which implantable sensor discoveries that seek to be translated into human medicine must navigate.Index Terms-Implantable sensors, sensor systems, in vivo medical devices.

“…Information concerning mechanical stress of bone cement and hip-joint small dislocations monitoring are fundamental to promote high durability of the prosthesis, comfort and reliability to the patient. In this sense strong efforts are being done in order to develop sensors for the measurement of cement-prostheses interface forces based on different transducers and geometries [5][6][7][8][9][10], but the issue is far from being solved for practical situations.…”
