Abstract

This review addresses questions of the specific characteristics of power supply to implanted devices (ID), including the service life of supply elements and the level of power consumption of contemporary devices, the acceptable weight and size characteristics of ID, and priority areas for implantation. Known methods of energy transmission and transformation are compared and the ranges of potential specific power for these are determined −0.1-100 mW/cm2 for wireless energy transmission, 0.0001-0.1 mW/cm2 for transformation of energy for sources specific to biological objects, and less than 0.0001 mW/cm2 for isotope power sources.
