Description:
This project aims at developing an implantable self-powered cardiac stimulation system, which features energy harvesting from the motion of heart, power management, wireless communication, and recording of cardiac activities. The proposed system utilizes a stretchable transducer that converts the movement to electricity, which is rectified and converted to DC power by the IC. This power is managed and provided to other system components. One of them is an electrical stimulator that provides electric charges to the tissue, i.e. heart tissue in this specific case. All the stimulation parameters, including current amplitude, polarity, time, and frequency, are programmable via wireless communication. In order to ensure the safe operation of the implant, the system includes multiple recording channels of electrical signals and electrochemical signals. This project will involve the design, fabrication, and experimental validation of ICs that include various blocks, including energy harvesting, stimulation, recording, communication, and power management. This system can be applied to cardiac stimulation, brain stimulation, and also peripheral nerve stimulation.
