Simultaneous Wireless Power and Data Transfer: Methods to Design Robust Medical Implants for Gastrointestinal Tract

Implantable medical systems for long-term monitoring of bioelectrical activity of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, known as slow waves, and for treating GI dysmotility and functional disorders through electrical stimulation pulses have emerged over the recent years. These implants construct a bidirectional interface between the clinician and the patient's GI tract, to record and monitor slow waves...
