Since then\, wireless medical telemetry systems and their associated implantable antennas have expanded rapidly. Implantab le medical devices now touch virtually every major function in the human b ody. Cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators\, neural recording and stimulat ion devices\, cochlear and retinal implants are just a few of the many imp lantable medical devices available today. Wireless telemetry for these dev ices is necessary to monitor battery level and device health\, upload repr ogramming for device function\, and download data for patient monitoring.\ n\nEmerging medical telemetry devices have led to recent advances in the d esign of small\, biocompatible antennas that can be implanted in the human body. This paper will track the types of antennas seen in the past\, the technologies that enabled these changes\, and prospects for future implant able antennas for medical applications.\n\n(IEEE APS Distinguished Lecture )\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Cynthia Furse \, \n\nAgenda: \n5:30pm - 6:30pm Presen tation\, Q&A\n\n6:30pm - 7:00pm Discussion/Virtual Dinner\n\nVirtual: http s://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/310959 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/310959 ORGANIZER:binto@ieee.org SEQUENCE:12 SUMMARY:IEEE Iowa-Illinois Section Tech Talk -- History and Future of Impla ntable Antennas URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/310959 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Implantable antennas have been used for co mmunication with medical implants for decades.
