Abstract
This paper presents the design of a smart diagnostic capsule system with novel antenna and nano-biosensors. The design of the novel miniaturized antenna addresses some of the challenges in the current capsule diagnostic systems namely potential capsule miniaturization, wireless link robustness for efficient medical data transfer. The implementation of nano-biosensors can help in sensing of clinically relevant molecular-level biomarkers in vivo which a big improvement over current capsule systems. Initial antenna and nano-biosensor designs will be discussed followed by a brief technology outlook.
