Wireless biosensors applications

Recent progresses in micro- and nanotechnology have led to the design of implantable, swallowable, wearable, or portable wireless biosensors to continuously monitor and detect important physiological parameters. The miniaturization and integration of biosensors, readout circuits, embedded microcontrollers, and wireless transceivers on a single chip have opened the way for new possibilities in medical applications. 

The recent developments of the wireless implantable and wearable biosensors for POC applications enable dedicated patient health management. The future trends for POC biosensors outline the need for smaller and flexible integrated systems, new biocompatible materials applicable for different applications, new packaging techniques, energy-efficient wireless systems, improved antenna designs, and efficient wireless power transfer and energy-harvesting techniques.
