TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: RF Telemetry System for Bio-Microelectromechanical (MEMS) Sensors and Actuators (TOP3-403)

NASA's Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: The wireless radio frequency (RF) telemetry system technology enables fast inductive powering and data collection from implantable Bio-MEMS sensors through electromagnetic coupling. This technology represents a distinct improvement over the state-of-practice wired sensing approaches used in NASA's aerospace program, as well as in non-aerospace medical applications for the health monitoring in hospital or in ambulatory patients. The embedded sensor has no battery, which lengthens the operational life and reduces the risk of toxicity and tissue damage due to leakages. The wireless nature of the handheld unit increases the efficiency of the monitoring scheme by allowing patient mobility and reliable data management/storage for analysis in real or at a later time. This innovation in implantable sensors/systems will enable smarter, easier to use medical devices that will allow physicians to monitor patients with chronic cardiovascular conditions in a fast and nonintrusive way.
