This innovative technology leverages a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) app to facilitate communication between an RFID controller and wireless, battery-free implantable medical devices. Designed for departmental research use, the app allows seamless data exchange with the implantable devices, enabling real-time monitoring and validation of data transmission. The processed data is then displayed in near real-time, allowing researchers to quickly assess the functionality and reliability of the data link, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of medical device research. Background: The technology aims to address the challenge of monitoring and interacting with implantable medical devices, which are often limited by the need for batteries and wired connections. Current solutions typically rely on battery-powered implants that require periodic replacements or involve complex and invasive procedures for wired connections, both of which can pose significant risks and inconveniences for patients. Additionally, existing systems may not offer real-time data processing, making it difficult to quickly validate the functionality of the device. This technology is distinct in its ability to provide real-time data processing and visualization, making it more efficient and user-friendly for research purposes. By using RFID technology, it offers a less invasive, more sustainable solution, reducing patient risk and improving the overall monitoring process. Applications:
