  3. Background

  4. Medical Implants aim to: • replace missing body parts or • deliver medication, monitor body functions, or provide support to organs and tissues. • Most widely implanted device: • Pacemaker • monitor patients with heart related issues • Most commonly occurring is arrhythmia

  5. Arrhythmia • an abnormal heart rhythm, due to changes in the conduction of electrical impulses through the heart. • Pacemakers: • use low-energy electrical pulses to overcome this abnormality. • They create forced rhythms according to natural human heart beats, to let the heart to function in a normal manner. • consists of a small battery, a generator and wires attached to the sensor to be inserted into the patients heart.

  6. Working of Pacemaker

  7. Problem Statement

  8. To cater for arrhythmia: • generated pulses carry sensed information regarding different events occurring inside the heart to the doctor • processing and transmission of data, • create a strain on the battery of a pacemaker to consume huge amount of power that ultimately; • depletes the sensor and hence becomes unable to further carry any informational data.

  9. Motivation

  10. Induction technique is presented to: • recharge the sensors battery, implanted inside a pacemaker to avoid early depletion • Technique focuses on enhancing: • voltage gain • link efficiency • Two equivalent circuits: • Series tuned primary circuit • Series tuned primary and parallel tuned secondary circuit

  11. Mathematical Model

  12. Induction Link • Primary Circuit • powered by a voltage source • Secondary Circuit • Source generates magnetic flux in order to induce power at secondary side, implanted inside human body. • Interface • skin acts as an interface or a barrier between the two circuits.

  13. Induction Link Parameters • Coupling Co-efficient (k) • degree of coupling between the two circuits. • enhances the link efficiency • In WBANs for body tissues safety: • k < 0.45 • Voltage Gain (Vout/ Vin) • ratio that, indicates an increase in the voltage at the output side in relative to the voltage applied at primary side • Link Efficiency (η) • ability of transferring power from primary side to secondary side in an efficient manner.

  14. Equivalent Circuits

  15. Series Tuned Primary Circuit (STPC)

  16. a capacitor is connected in series at primary side. • as, only a small amount of voltage induces because of a low coupling factor of 0.45 so, • a series tuned circuit is used in order to: • induce sufficient amount of voltage to the secondary coil

  17. Series Tuned Primary and Parallel Tuned Secondary Circuit (STPPTSC)

  18. capacitor C2p is connected in parallel at secondary side • as, the sensors implanted inside a human body operate under low frequencies. • parallel capacitor let the circuit to act as a low pass filter which, • allows low frequencies to pass through and, • blocking the higher frequencies thereby, • preventing damages to body tissues
