Is this enough to motivate one to take care and to work toward healing? You can heal yourself. One can have normal blood pressure.
What is your view of health? Has it come to this where you have to implant a device into your tissues to monitor your blood pressure? Instead of chipping people isn’t the purpose of medicine to foster and promote healing? Read the article below.
Sensor in artery measures blood pressure
A 1 millimeter-wide blood-pressure sensor inserted directly into the femoral artery in the groin has been developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems.
It provides remote monitoring by a doctor, replacing a burdensome inflatable sleeve on the patient’s arm.
“The sensor, which has a diameter of about one millimeter including its casing, measures the patient’s blood pressure 30 times per second. It is connected via a flexible micro-cable to a transponder unit, which is likewise implanted in the groin under the skin. This unit digitizes and encodes the data coming from the micro-sensor and transmits them to an external reading device that patients can wear like a cell phone on their belt. From there, the readings can be forwarded to a monitoring station and analyzed by the doctor.” Because the researchers use special components in CMOS technology, the system requires little energy. The micro-implants can be supplied with electricity wirelessly via coils.
Implantable pressure sensors are also suitable for other applications, such as monitoring patients suffering from cardiac insufficiency. The researchers are currently performing the first clinical trials.”
