Abstract :
Dependency of human beings on technology is reaching such an extent that almost everything unimaginable until lately is now achievable technologically. Biomedical research and development is constantly exploring the natural phenomenon and is trying to achieve the same through engineering technology. In this research, we are proposing a research platform for Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) using a novel Power Harvesting Scheme.
