Implanted antennas and nanoparticles for wireless control activation of therapeutics

We aim to develop the first wireless drug implant that will be activated through an external wearable antenna. The system will release drugs in the circulation upon demand (e.g. Bluetooth communication). The system will be composed of an implanted antenna-receiver with a drug reservoir controlled by high conductivity nanomaterials and an external antenna.
