Microwave technology has applications in the pharmaceutical industry for drug extraction, sterilization, and creating dosage forms. Microwave-assisted extraction can be used to obtain medicinal components from plants and other materials for healthcare purposes.

BioMEMS [Biological Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems] and biomedical engineering have enabled the development of microwave-based devices for healthcare, such as wireless implants for monitoring intracranial pressure in patients with traumatic brain injury or hydrocephalus.

Metamaterials are used in designing antennas for healthcare applications. These metamaterial-based wearable antennas, like textile patch antennas, are crucial for wireless body-centric networks used in healthcare monitoring systems.
