Medical Applications for Implantable Devices Utilizing Electromagnetic Fields

We approached various researches, which contain developments of functional hyperthermia, thermo-therapy by using metallic stent, implanted FES system, transcutaneous power-signal supply system for implantable total artificial heart, rechargeable power supply system for a cardiac pacemaker, and temperature control for SMA artificial anal sphincter. We are examining the in vivo application of electromagnetic fields with regard to biomagnetism and energy management. From the perspective of electrical engineering, the power source of equipment is an important issue for the majority of medical devices. This paper shows the progress of the functional hyperthermia system in our researches
