Abstract

Described herein is an implantable device having a sensor configured to detect an amount of an analyte, a pH, a temperature, strain, or a pressure; and an ultrasonic transducer with a length of about 5 mm or less in the longest dimension, configured to receive current modulated based on the analyte amount, the pH, the temperature, or the pressure detected by the sensor, and emit an ultrasonic backscatter based on the received current. The implantable device can be implanted in a subject, such as an animal or a plant. Also described herein are systems including one or more implantable devices and an interrogator comprising one or more ultrasonic transducers configured to transmit ultrasonic waves to the one or more implantable devices or receive ultrasonic backscatter from the one or more implantable devices. Also described are methods of detecting an amount of an analyte, a pH, a temperature, a strain, or a pressure.

Claims (56)

1. A system, comprising:

(a) an implantable device, comprising:

a sensor configured to detect a cranial pressure; and

an ultrasonic transducer with a length of about 5 mm or less in the longest dimension, the ultrasonic transducer configured to receive ultrasonic waves that power the implantable device, receive a current modulated based on the pressure detected by the sensor, and emit a pressure-dependent ultrasonic backscatter based on the current received by the ultrasonic transducer; and

(b) an interrogator comprising one or more ultrasonic transducers configured to transmit the ultrasonic waves that power the implantable device, and receive the ultrasonic backscatter from the implantable device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is an optical sensor.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor comprises a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) sensor.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ultrasonic transducer is a bulk piezoelectric transducer, a piezoelectric micro-machined ultrasonic transducer (PMUT) or a capacitive micro-machined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT).

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the implantable device is about 5 mm or less in length in the longest dimension.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the volume of the implantable device has a volume of about 5 mm 3 or less.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the implantable device further comprises an integrated circuit.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the integrated circuit comprises one or more of a power circuit, a driver configured to provide current to the sensor, a front end configured to receive a signal from the sensor, or a digital circuit.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the integrated circuit comprises a digital circuit configured to operate a modulation circuit.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the digital circuit is configured to transmit a digital signal to the modulation circuit, wherein the digital signal is based on the detected cranial pressure.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the implanted device is at least partially encapsulated by a biocompatible material.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interrogator is configured to be wearable by a subject.

13. A method of detecting a cranial pressure, comprising:

powering an implantable device implanted in a subject using ultrasonic waves emitted from an interrogator comprising one or more ultrasonic transducers, wherein the implantable device comprises an ultrasonic transducer with a length of 5 mm or less in the longest dimension and a sensor configured to measure the cranial pressure;

converting energy from the ultrasonic waves into an electrical current;

measuring the cranial pressure using the sensor;
