A Biomedical Sensor Based on Resonant Absorption of Ultrasound Waves in Hydrogel-based Resonators

Farhoudi N., Leu H-Y, Magda J., Solzbacher F., Reiche C.F., University of Utah, US

Smart hydrogels can be tailored to undergo a vol- ume change in response to an analyte. The potential biocompatibility of these materials has made them a very promising material for biomedical sensing applica- tions. To [...]

Fast-reacting smart hydrogel-based sensor platform for biomedical applications

Koerner J., Reiche C.F., Leu H-Y, Magda J., Solzbacher F., University of Utah, US

Smart hydrogels are highly biocompatible polymeric materials which change their volume in the presence of an analyte they have been tailored for by molecular imprinting or aptamer-based approaches. These properties make hydrogels ideal candidates for [...]

Biocompatible Hybrid System Integration of Silicon Based Neural Interface Device

Tathireddy P., Chakravarthy S., Hsu J., Klein M., Oppermann H., Rieth L., Harrison R., Normann R.A., Solzbacher F., University of Utah and Fraunhofer Institute, Germany, US

Chronically implantable wireless neural interfaces require biocompatible and stable high density integration of sensing, data processing, communication and power supply. The objective of this research was to develop a biocompatible wafer level integration technology for [...]

FEA Simulation of Thin Film Coils to Power Wireless Neural Interfaces

Kim S., Scholz O., Zoschke K., Harrison R., Solzbacher F., Klein M., Toepper M., Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering, DE

To wirelessly transfer energy into active biomedical devices such as neural stimulators or bio-monitors implanted in the body, magnetic coupling of a pair of coils has been commonly used. The growing demand for highly miniaturized [...]
