Application: Untethered Wearables Implants
Description
Applications of untethered wearables:
• Remote healthcare,
• Personal fitness,
• Building and infrastructure monitoring (e.g., embedding sensors in walls, foundations, beams, pillars)
• Livestock monitoring (e.g., farm animals)
• Remote environmental and climate monitoring
Devices
- Medical grade implants capable or real-time and/or non-real-time monitoring and remote control. May also be used to help sense position/location of patient.
