Wireless energy transfer for implantable devices

This invention describes a system to wirelessly power medical devices implanted inside a patient, eliminating the need for cords. An external power source generates magnetic fields, which are picked up by a receiver in the implant. The system improves power delivery by using additional repeater devices, specifically designed to be worn by the patient in a garment.

Why it matters: Filed before wearable electronics were common and wireless power transfer components were significantly miniaturized and efficient. These advancements make integrating repeater resonators into garments and powering implants more feasible now.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHigh-Q resonators, implantable electronics, medical-grade materials
