China Has Developed a Wireless Charger Designed to Remain Safely Implanted Inside the Human Body

Paving the Way for a New Era of Minimally Invasive Healthcare


In a groundbreaking advancement in medical technology, Chinese scientists have created a wireless charger that can safely reside within the human body, powering implantable devices like pacemakers, drug delivery systems, and biosensors. This revolutionary technology holds immense promise for revolutionizing healthcare and improving the lives of millions.

The wireless charger, developed by researchers at Lanzhou University, is a biodegradable, flexible device that harvests energy from an external transmitting coil placed on the skin. This eliminates the need for invasive surgeries to replace batteries, reducing the risk of infections and complications.

The device's biocompatibility stems from its composition of zinc and magnesium, essential elements in the human body. Additionally, its soft, adaptable design allows it to conform to the shape of organs and tissues, minimizing discomfort and potential tissue damage.

The wireless charger's potential applications are vast. Pacemakers, for instance, could benefit from continuous, uninterrupted power, ensuring consistent cardiac rhythm regulation. Drug delivery implants could precisely administer medications at controlled rates, enhancing treatment efficacy and reducing side effects. Biosensors could continuously monitor vital signs, providing real-time patient data for timely interventions.

This innovative technology marks a significant step forward in the field of implantable electronics. By addressing the limitations of traditional power sources, the wireless charger paves the way for a new era of personalized, minimally invasive healthcare.
