Abstract :
Among the identified implantable electronic systems, there is a pacemaker, urinary implants, visual implants and auditory cochlear implants. This system is composed of an implant and a control unit. The implant is designed to work efficiently and autonomously for long periods. It is placed under the skin of the user. The main tasks of the implant are the stimulation of nerves or muscles and the detection and measurement of different physiological signals. As for the control unit, it serves, first to transmit all information needed to perform the various tasks to the implant. Second, it is used to retrieve and process data from the implant.
