Bass Waves Could Power Medical Devices

(3)Feb-01-12

A newly developed method of powering medical implants with low frequency sound waves could lead to a new generation of monitoring devices.

Professor Babak Ziaie of Purdue University created the device to power sensors meant to monitor pressure in blood vessels and the bladder. He built a tiny piezoelectric cantilever that vibrates at low frequencies, generating the power to allow the sensors to take a reading and transmit the results to a receiver near the patient.

Ziaie chose to use music to make the experience more pleasant for the user, and discovered the device operates most efficiently when exposed to hip-hop.
