Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for providing a status of an implant device during or after the implantation of the implant device using reconfigurable indicators. In one embodiment, an implant device includes a reconfigurable indicator and a controller comprising or coupled to the reconfigurable indicator. The reconfigurable indicator is implantable, and is reconfigurable to a plurality of states by the controller. The reconfigurable indicator is configured to be visible by an imaging system when the reconfigurable indicator is implanted and set to a first state of the plurality of states.
