Abstract

Wireless endovascular sensors and stimulators are emerging biomedical technologies for applications such as endovascular pressure monitoring, hyperthermia, and neural stimulations. Recently, coil-shaped stents have been proposed for inductive power transfer to endovascular devices using the stent as a receiver. However, less work has been done on the external transmitter components, so the maximum power transferable remains unknown. In this work, we design and evaluate a wearable transmitter coil that allows 50 mW power transfer in simulation.Clinical Relevance-This allows more accurate measurements and precise control of endovascular devices.
