Abstract :
The possibility to monitor biological process in evolution and in particular the state of implanted devices such as vascular stent, has been recently proposed as one of the most challenging and fascinating application of the RFID passive technology. However, several issues are still in question and need to be analyzed in order to evaluate the real medical and sensing effectiveness of the proposed implantable radio sensor. The aim of this work is to experimentally evaluate the robustness of the RFID platform, its accuracy and its reproducibility as well as the effectiveness of the proposed sensing approach in term of human variability and pathology evolution.
