Self-powered embeddable medical sensors go a long way in treating injuries
While exercising their limits, athletes usually suffer with knee injury, torn ligaments, and what not? Now, this time Fauzan Baharudin, a final year student at the University's School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) has developed a new self-powered embeddable medical sensor to monitor progress during knee surgeries. He, along with Professor Neil White at ECS spot thick film technology to play a major role in developing these sensors. They call it Serial In-vivo Transducer (SIT) and it could work out sinew strength through anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rebuilding. Fauzan holds that ACL surgery could make best use of thick film technology owing to its elasticity, low asking price, fast lead time and its aptness for the body. This sensor could power itself by producing required energy itself. Surely, it’s a welcome invention and a boon for people who are most prone to these sorts of ailments.
