Stanford University Scientists Build Tiny Implantable Sensor To Detect Blood And Intracranial Pressures

A lot of patients can benefit from continuous blood pressure monitoring, but inflatable arm cuffs are currently the only reliable method to do so. Attempts are currently underway by a number of organizations to use pulse wave transit time obtained through single lead ECG to provide cuffless blood pressure monitoring, but clinical level precision may not be achieved any time soon with this technique. A new solution may come in the form of a tiny wireless implant, only one millimeter on a side and 0.1 mm thick, that’s been developed by engineers at Stanford University.
