摘要
Biomedical engineering today holds a prominent place as a means of improving medical diagnosis and treatment, and as an academic discipline. Today glucose monitoring, insulin pumps, deep brain simulations and endoscopy are a few examples of the medical applications that can take advantage of remote monitoring system and body implantable unit. Body implantable devices are widely researched for humans, in the applications such as monitoring blood pressure and temperature, tracking dependent people or lost pets, wirelessly transferring diagnostic information from an electronic device implanted in the human body for human care and safety, such as a pacemaker, to an external RF receiver. Antennas can be implanted into human bodies or can just be mounted over the torso (skin-fat-muscle) to form a bio-communication system between medical devices and exterior instruments for short range biotelemetry applications. In addition to the clear benefits to the healthcare system provided by body implanted devices, economical aspects are also relevant. Remote monitoring systems facilitate the diagnosis of diseases and favor the hospital at home by reducing the hospitalization period. © 2015, Korean Society of Medical and Biological Engineering and Springer.
