21. Wireless Implants
CardioMEMS miniature implantable sensors use
radiofrequency energy to transmit real-time data
and communicate this information to the patient’s
physician for the management of patients with
congestive heart failure.

24. Targeted Drug Therapy
MicroCHIPS’ drug therapy solution provides patients with
implantable chips that monitor the amount of medication the
body needs. This information is wirelessly sent, collected,
and available for analysis by physicians, caregivers, and
patients.
• Osteoporosis

25. Medication Compliance
Proteus develops products that integrate in-body
electronics and sensor technologies into existing
pharmaceuticals to improve therapeutic outcomes.
Embedded transmitters in pills are activated when patients
digest them. Once activated, it sends a message to a band
aid receiving signals that the medication has been taken,
and at what time.
