Live demonstration: Wireless telemetry system for implantable Pressure-Volume cardiac monitoring

Advanced testing of medical treatments involves experimentation on small laboratory animal subjects, such as genetically modified mice. These subjects are used to help researchers develop medication and cures for humans. Thus, in order to understand the effects of the treatments on the subject´s body the researchers have the need to monitor various bio-signals during these experiments including blood pressure and volume (PV), cardiac activity, temperature, and electrocardiography (ECG). Therefore, there is the need to develop novel micro-sized, ultra low-power telemetry systems that will enable researchers to collect these bio-signals in real-time [1].
