Abstract

The advances in micro, nano and bio-technology help to create multidisciplinary medical systems by combining several fields in a single unit. These medical systems improve the healthcare quality which promotes the comfort of the human at low cost. Especially, miniaturization of the systems allows to implant the devices in the body. The implanted devices need to be replaced at the end of their lifetime. Therefore, the low-power electronic is required to increase the life span of the implanted devices and reduces the number of the invasive surgeries. In addition, the transcutaneous cables which energize the devices are replaced by the wireless power transfer methods for the mobility and health of the patients.
