Coin-sized biological chips developed by Bioelectronics Innovation Laboratory, IIT Kharagpur. This will help in the treatment of brain, nerve, muscle and spinal cord disorders.
This chip works based on wireless power transfer and intelligent communication schemes, unlike normal pacemakers that lack battery-life leading to surgery every 5 to 10 years. These chips would sense bio-signals, process information in making novel decisions and control diseased organs by electrical methods.
