Abstract:
This paper reports a subcutaneous blood pressure (BP) monitoring system with AlN-based,piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs) on an ambulatory sheep. Comparedto the state-of-art, three distinctive achievements have been demonstrated: (1) precision andcontinuous measurements of the blood pressure from the diameter changes of blood vessels assmall as 2.3 μm by means of ultrasonic detections; (2) experimental validations in both in vitroartery models and an acute animal study; and (3) the first continuous and silent blood pressuremonitoring system without a cuff toward a fully implantable system based on MEMS technologies.
