In order to energize the biomedical implantable electronic devices wirelessly for in vivo health monitoring of patients in remote and inaccessible areas, an alternate driving energy source is highly desirable and increasingly important. In pertinent to this, a thermal energy driven resonant inductively coupled wireless energizing scheme has been developed for powering biomedical implantable devices. The system is designed to convert the generated heat energy to a high frequency energy source so

The automated biomedical smart sensor is competent to acquire the body parameter and transmit the consequent telemetry data from the body to the data recording segment. The real-time body temperature parameter in different conditions has been experimented. To ensure its accuracy, the sensed data have been matched with the observations carried out by a calibrated device. The intended scheme can be utilized for wireless monitoring of other health parameters like physiological signals and bladder as well as blood pressure of the patients.
