Implantable autonomous device for wireless force measurement in total knee prosthesis

Heath maintenance is one of the most challenging objectives of science and technology. Nowadays, with the rapid progress in the field of biomedical engineering, implantable medical sensors and devices are widely used for prognosis, diagnosis and treatment [1] without interfering in a patient's normal life activities. These implantable devices include cochlear implants, pacemakers, nerve stimulators, heart failure monitoring devices, smart prostheses and many others, which perform real-time monitoring and control of certain functional body operations.
