Abstract
Implantable wireless devices may allow localized real-time biomedical treating and monitoring. However, such devices require a power source, which ideally, should be self-powered and not battery dependent. In this paper, we present a novel self-powered light therapeutic device which is designed to implement blood irradiation therapy. This device is self-powered by a miniaturized turbine-based generator which uses hydraulic flow energy as its power source. The research presented in this paper may become the first step towards a new type of biomedical self-operational micromechanical devices deployed for biomedical applications.
Highlights
Implantable wireless devices may allow localized real-time biomedical treating and monitoring
Our main goal is to calculate the electric power that can be produced by blood flow
It is important to explain that the device we aim to develop is designed to operate in such a manner that first, electric power will be accumulated and it will consume this power for different applications
Summary
Implantable wireless devices may allow localized real-time biomedical treating and monitoring Such devices require a power source, which ideally, should be self-powered and not battery dependent. A human body holds within it a broad variety of potential power sources This includes mechanical energy (in the form of body movements, muscle stretching, and blood vessel contractions) and hydraulic energy (in the form of blood flow). Great progress has been made in the field of endovascular intervention as various intravascular implantable devices and techniques have been developed. This includes numerous devices used for mechanical vascular repair as well as new technologies for better treatment and diagnostics
