The future of technology knows nothing such as ‘impossible’ or ‘outrageous’. It goes on and on shocking us with this cool new technology, where patients will have low-power wireless devices inside their bodies that monitor their health condition and provide constant updates on the same. Various factors like blood pressure, metabolism and other such entities can be calculated without much trouble. We can expect these devices to find a home in other devices like pacemakers.

The main challenge is bringing forth a device that can transmit wireless information through bones, muscle, fat, etc. The implantable antenna uses a 402-405 MHz Medical Implant Communications Service (MICS) frequency band.
