Abstract: The present invention relates to an orthopaedic implant, such as a bone plate, for the fixation of bone where the implant also has at least one microchip and at least one sensor connected to the microchip. The sensor or sensors are configured to receive physical stimulus from a portion of the implant or the patient's tissue such as temperature, pressure, and strain. The information received from the sensor or sensors is gathered by the microchip and transmitted to a receiver, such as a personal computer, outside the patient. This information enables doctors to diagnose the useful life of the implant, the load sharing of the bone plate, and possible complications typically associated with orthopaedic implants such as infection, fracture non-union, and fatigue. The implant may also have one or more electrodes located on its surface which emit an electric current to stimulate healing of the broken or fractured bone.

Abstract: There is an implantable medical device (20) comprising an acousto-optic transducer (200), a photodetector (300), and an optical communication channel (400) connecting an output of the acousto-optic transducer (200) to an input of the photodetector (300). The components of the implantable medical device (20) can be made sufficiently small that they can be implanted into a living subject with ease and require no external power supply. Since the acousto-optic transducer (200) can receive acoustic signals, which are transmissible through bone, the device (20) can be implanted into a living bone and can be communicated with transdermally. There is also a wireless communication system comprising such an implantable medical device (20) and an electro-acoustic transducer (30a, 30b, ... 30n) able to transmit information to the implantable medical device (20) by transdermal transmission of an acoustic signal. Such a system is particularly suited to the repair of spinal injuries. A method of transdermal wireless communication is also provided, comprising transmitting an acoustic signal from outside a human or animal subject, receiving the acoustic signal within the human or animal subject, and converting the acoustic signal into an optical signal, as well as a method of in vivo communication, comprising transmitting an acoustic signal within a human or animal subject, and converting the acoustic signal into an optical signal. Preferably, the acoustic signal is converted into an optical signal using Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from a donor molecule to a receptor molecule within the acousto-optic transducer (200).

Abstract: An electromagnetic navigation system having a wireless, battery-powered medical tool (300) is provided. The system charges the medical tool (300) using energy from the same magnetic fields used to locate the tool in 3-D space. The system includes one or more wireless transmission devices which generate the magnetic fields. The medical tool includes a receiving coil (304) which generates electrical signals indicative of a location of the tool in response to receiving the magnetic fields. The tool also includes a wireless interface (312) which provides electrical signals for processing to determine the location of the tool in 3-D space and a battery (302) which supplies power to the tool. The tool also includes one or more charging coils (306), electrically connected to the battery (302). Each charging coil receives energy from the magnetic fields passing through a charging coil surface and supplies the energy to the battery to charge the battery.

The primary insert can include a distal end (116), a proximal end (114) opposite the distal end, and a central bore (144) that can extend from an opening (166) in the distal end towards the proximal end. The secondary insert can be receivable within the central bore through the opening. The secondary insert can include a body and a sensor module (106). The body can be removably engageable with an inside surface of the central bore. The sensor module can be disposable within the body and can be configured to produce a sensor signal as a function of a first sensed parameter indicative of infection. The antenna can be disposed in the central bore. The antenna can be configured to transmit a wireless signal as a function of the sensor signal.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) telemetry arrangement and process for a cochlear implant system are described. Electrode current is measured that is induced in a cochlear implant electrode lead during an MRI process performed on an implanted patient. An MRI telemetry signal for an external telemetry sensor is then output based on the measured electrode current.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to using detected bladder events for the diagnosis of urinary incontinence or the treatment of lower urinary tract dysfunction. A system includes a sensing device comprising a pressure sensor to directly detect a pressure within a bladder. The sensing device is adapted to be located within the bladder. The system also includes a signal processing device to: receive a signal indicating the detected pressure within the bladder; detect a bladder event based the detected pressure within the signal; and characterize the bladder event as a bladder contraction event or a non-contraction event. The characterization of the bladder event can be used in the diagnosis of urinary incontinence or the treatment of lower urinary tract dysfunction.
