Supplying Power for Implantable Biosensors
Introduction to Biosensors 16.441, 16.541Group Members:Sujith KanaJesse Vengren
Abstract
Powering implantable biosensors is difficult.
Do not what to limit the subjects movement or impede them in anyway.
Want it to be minimally invasive Want the power supply to lastDo not to want to constantly
replacing themMiniaturization is critical
BackgroundBiosensors thou are fad in the
current decade, they have been there since early 1970’s.
Powering up the biosensor was a challenge even in 1970’s
Earliest application was pace maker
Mercury-Zinc was powering the pacemaker
Nuclear fueled cells considered as an option!
Energy HarvestingGathering energy from
environment the device is inMany different energy
harvesting techniques: wind, solar, kinetic, thermal
Not every one is appropriate for implantable biosensors
Kinetic EnergyUsing the motion of the body to
generate power.Three methods to turn
mechanical into electric energyElectromagnetic, Electrostatic,
and Piezoelectric
ElectromagneticUses the change in magnetic flux
to create powerGenerated by moving a coil
through a magnetic fieldRelatively simpleSame Method used in watches
ElectrostaticUses variable capacitorsChanges in the distance between
the plates to change either current or voltage
This type of kinetic energy is used in MEMS
Works well at low power
PiezoelectricBy deforming piezoelectric
material you can generate a voltage
Out side of the body it is easy to create mechanical deformation
Hard to find a natural body motion to create deformation
Issues with Kinetic EnergyMoving parts wear outElectrostatic requires preexisting
ChargeFor Piezoelectric need to be able
to cause mechanical deformation
Thermal EnergyUses temperature difference to create
voltageSeebeck Effect: Voltage is generated
due to a difference in temperature between two junctions of dissimilar metals
Many thermocouples in series to create thermopile
Issues with Thermal EnergyTo need large ΔT for single
thermocoupleInternal temperature change is
small When ΔT is small one
thermocouple does not generate much energy
Size becomes and issue.
Acoustic PowerApplication of
piezoelectric kinetic energy
Power by acoustic wavesWaves generated
outside the body transmit power to implanted device
Antenna similar to speaker cone receives acoustic wave and deforms piezoelectric material
Fuel Cell Sir William Grove found it in
1839 On chip power for
microelectronics Traditional Fuel cells vs
Biological Fuel Cells Powered by Sacccharomyces
Cerevisiae

3. Temperature
4. Glucose Concentration
5. Stagnant vs Agitated solution
6. Aerobic vs Anaerobic Condition
7. Active and Reserve Configuration
Issues of Biological fuel cellsMicro watts of power generationPerformance over timeEnvironmental conditionsElectrochemical contact of the
micro-organismCost

Issues of RF powerChanges in coupling coefficientConfined to labHeating of tissuesDependence on patient
compliancePossible RF interference
ConclusionThere are many possible option
for powering implantable biosensors
Each method has its pros and cons
Some are closer to being reality then others
Technology is constantly advancing
