Abstract
Inductive power transfer is the most widely used method to supply power to smart medical implants such as cochlear implants, visual prostheses, deep brain stimulators, and spinal cord stimulators. In addition, inductive links are used as a data communication channel between the smart medical implants and the external world.
In this chapter, we first study the concepts and the building blocks of the inductive links used for power transmission to smart medical implants. Then, we extent our discussion to wireless data communication between the medical implants and the external world over the inductive links.
