Research Abstract |
In this study, we developed a new transcutaneous communication system that uses the human body as a conductive medium for monitoring and controlling artificial hearts and other artificial organs in the body. Performance of the TCS was evaluated by a communication test in an animal experiment using a goat. The TCS was able to transmit data concurrently for 4 weeks between everywhere on the surface of the body and everywhere inside the body under full duplex communication. The newly developed TCS has promise as to be a next-generation transcutaneous communication device.
