Project Summary:

This research focuses on the development of a communication and power channel with two primary functions:

1. passing information between the inside and the outside of the human body, and
2. supplying electrical power to maintain continuous operation of a miniature implanted device. This channel will be constructed based on the volume conduction property of biological tissue.

The new technologies to be developed in this project will be utilized to design the next-generation of implantable devices for broad applications in military medicine.
