Research projects
MEDICOS - Medical Implant Communication System
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The aim of the MEDICOS junior researchers is to develop highly innovative methods for energy reduction in intelligent implants. This includes the conception and implementation of new strategies for minimally invasive and simultaneously high-performance, biocompatible signal processing and transmission systems. There is currently a complex need for research and development with regard to the implementation and use of intelligent implants. In addition to miniaturization, greater biocompatibility and long-term stability, key research and development activities for intelligent implants primarily include improved data connectivity and implant networking. Particularly in view of the fact that more information is to be recorded, a unity of diagnosis and therapy is desired and long lifetimes are required, the existing systems do not meet the requirements in terms of performance or energy efficiency. In order to fully exploit the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of intelligent implants, highly energy-efficient and high-performance minimal and non-invasive systems must therefore be developed. This is precisely the aim of the MEDICOS research group. MEDICOS aims to develop extremely energy-efficient, adaptive, wireless biosignal processing and communication systems that offer sufficient performance to process complex biosignals and reduce invasive intervention to a minimum.
