Simple implantable wireless sensor platform to measure pressure and force

The use of patient-specific data to drive personal care regimens has significant potential for optimizing medical treatments [1]. One approach to collecting patient-specific data is through the use of “smart implants”. Smart implants serve not only a therapeutic capacity, but also are instrumented with sensing technology to provide diagnostic data. In orthopaedic surgery, the relatively large size of the implants provides an ideal vehicle for introducing diagnostic technology into the body.
