Conception et réalisation d'un capteur passif biomédical implantable et d'un lecteur assurant l'activation et la communication sans fil

Abstract

Using engineering principles to bind the medical and biological fields leads to vivid progress opportunities in health care. The premise of this project is that it is possible to leverage Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to supply power and to communicate in realtime with a miniature subcutaneous sensing platform serving as an interface to a variety of sensors. Subcutaneous invasive sensing implants have the advantage of providing a wide diversity of bodily measurements otherwise inaccessible through non-ç=invasive approaches. The design and implementation of such RFID system operating at 13.56 MHz translates to a mechanism where a bracelet worn at the wrist level can activate an under skin sensing implant meant to measure the internal body temperature. The implanted device is fully passive until inductively stimulated by a strong electromagnetic field generated by the wristband, which then transfers the gathered data via Bluetooth to a mobile device such as a smart phone for monitoring and analysis purposes. The results obtained by a series of prototypes throughout the project show that it is indeed possible to obtain high quality measurements such as the internal body temperature. This self-quantization technology applies to various fields of interests such as sports, health, spatial and military.
