Wireless Communication Protocols for Implantable Devices
Effective wireless communication is essential for microelectronic medical implants to transmit real-time health data to external monitoring systems. Protocols such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Zigbee, and near-field communication (NFC) are increasingly used in implantable devices to ensure reliable, low-power, and secure data transfer. Proper communication protocols enhance patient monitoring while minimizing battery consumption.
These wireless solutions enable remote diagnostics, early detection of complications, and personalized adjustments to therapy. Security and encryption measures are critical to protect sensitive medical data from cyber threats. Future trends involve hybrid protocols, improved bandwidth, and ultra-low-power communication to support advanced implants, including AI-enabled devices and multi-sensor systems, enhancing patient care and clinical decision-making
