Wirelessly powered implantable system for wireless long-term monitoring of intracranial pressure

Abstract

This paper presents the pressure readout results from a piezoresistive pressure sensor in a biological environment mimicking the human head properties for intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring application. The piezoresistive pressure sensor is powered wirelessly through inductively coupled antennas. After successful activation of the sensor, the pressure readout is demonstrated from 0 mmHg to 30 mmHg with a resolution of one mmHg.
