植入式医疗器械已被用于提供治疗和评估人体以及动物模型的体内生理信息，以用于医学诊断和预后、治疗应用和生物科学研究。微/纳米技术的进步伴随着新型生物材料的出现，进一步增强了新出现的低成本和紧凑型设备的生物相容性、灵敏度、寿命和可靠性。还开发了具有感测和治疗功能的闭环系统，以提供即时护理和个性化医疗。然而，剩下的挑战之一是能否为整个系统的运行提供足够和连续的电力。对于未来医疗保健基础设施，即移动的健康（m-Health），植入设备中无线通信的功率需求日益增加，这个问题变得越来越关键。在这篇综述论文中，介绍和讨论了在植入式医疗器械中传输和收集能量的方法，以突出各种潜在电源的用途和意义。
Implantable medical devices have been implemented to provide treatment and to assess in vivo physiological information in humans as well as animal models for medical diagnosis and prognosis, therapeutic applications and biological science studies. The advances of micro/nanotechnology dovetailed with novel biomaterials have further enhanced biocompatibility, sensitivity, longevity and reliability in newly-emerged low-cost and compact devices. Close-loop systems with both sensing and treatment functions have also been developed to provide point-of-care and personalized medicine. Nevertheless, one of the remaining challenges is whether power can be supplied sufficiently and continuously for the operation of the entire system. This issue is becoming more and more critical to the increasing need of power for wireless communication in implanted devices towards the future healthcare infrastructure, namely mobile health (m-Health). In this review paper, methodologies to transfer and harvest energy in implantable medical devices are introduced and discussed to highlight the uses and significances of various potential power sources.
