Continuous in vivo blood pressure measurements using a fully implantable wireless SAW sensor.
This paper describes the world’s first wireless implantable blood pressure monitor based on a RFIC smart tag with SAW transducer embedded within a stent. The paper reports in-vivo measured results of the implantable device that achieves results comparable to the gold standard (pressure-tip catheter). This work led to: (1) a patent (US2007282172), (2) a Wellcome Trust translation award, (3) a Wellcome Trust/NIH technology transfer award to see the device through to FDA approval, (4) a new collaboration with the University of Oxford, (5) two high profile plenary talks (2011 Royal Society Public Lecture and 2011 IEEE ISSCC Special forum session).
