Furse is a Fellow of the IEEE and th e National Academy of Inventors\, and is a Professor of Electrical and Com puter Engineering at the University of Utah\, Salt Lake City\, Utah\, USA. Her research interests are the application of electromagnetics to sensing and communication in complex lossy scattering media such as the human bod y\, geophysical prospecting\, ionospheric plasma\, and complex wiring netw orks. Dr. Furse is a founder of LiveWire Innovation\, Inc.\, a spin-off co mpany from her research\, commercializing devices to locate intermittent f aults on live wires. She has taught electromagnetics\, wireless communicat ion\, computational electromagnetics\, microwave engineering\, antenna des ign\, introductory electrical engineering\, and engineering entrepreneursh ip and has been a leader in the development of the flipped classroom. Dr. Furse is an Associate Editor for the Transactions on Antennas and Propagat ion (AP)\, Chair of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Awards Commi ttee\, a past Administrative Committee member for the IEEE AP society\, an d past chair of the IEEE AP Education Committee. She has received numerous teaching and research awards including the 2020 IEEE Chen To Tai Distingu ished Educator Award.\n\nAbstract: Implantable antennas have been used for communication with medical implants for decades. Since then\, wireless me dical telemetry systems and their associated implantable antennas have exp anded rapidly. Implantable medical devices now touch virtually every major function in the human body. Cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators\, neura l recording and stimulation devices\, cochlear and retinal implants are ju st a few of the many implantable medical devices available today. Wireless telemetry for these devices is necessary to monitor battery level and dev ice health\, upload reprogramming for device function\, and download data for patient monitoring.\n\nEmerging medical telemetry devices have led to recent advances in the design of small\, biocompatible antennas that can b e implanted in the human body. This paper will track the types of antennas seen in the past\, the technologies that enabled these changes\, and pros pects for future implantable antennas for medical applications.\n\nThis is a virtual event only\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/354383 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/354383 ORGANIZER:jmmoskal@ieee.org SEQUENCE:11 SUMMARY:The History and Future of Implantable Antennas URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/354383 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><div class="AOLWebSuite AOLWebSuiteM1" data-d ojo-attach-point="bodyCont">\n<div id="yiv0927422928">\n<div>\n<div class= "yiv0927422928WordSection1">\n<table class="yiv0927422928MsoNormalTable" s tyle="height: 401px\;" border="0" width="888" cellspacing="0" cellpadding= "0">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width="395">\n<p class="yiv0927422928MsoNormal">< span style="font-size: 14pt\;"><strong>Buffalo Section AP/MTT Society pres entation on Thursday April 27\, 2023 at 6:30 PM</strong></span></p>\n<p cl ass="yiv0927422928MsoNormal"><strong>Dr. Cynthia M.
