Summary
Over the years there
has been a growing interest in the field of implantable medical devices
with wireless interfaces. This project addressed how to supply the required
electrical power to such devices. It aims to re-charge the implantable's
battery by harvesting electrical energy from the body's movement.
The principal
goal of the project will be to use state of the art micro fabrication
techniques to build microgenerators. The focus of the project's technical
developments will be on electromagnetic transduction. More details on
each partner's expertise is given on their relevant web pages.
