生理力学信号的连续动态监测是脑部疾病诊疗、心血管健康评估的关键支撑,现有可穿戴与植入式监测器件普遍存在有线束缚、体积刚性大、感染风险高、传感精度不足等痛点,无法满足长期微创在体监测的临床需求。
近日,复旦大学智慧纳米机器人与纳米系统国际研究院/智能机器人与先进制造创新学院研究团队开发出一款无线无电池、全柔性超薄铌酸锂压电谐振器,成功实现穿戴式生命体征与植入式颅内压的高精度无源监测。相关成果《Wireless battery-free ultrathin lithium niobate resonator as wearable and implantable electronics for continuous monitoring of mechanical vital signs》以研究论文发表于Nature Communications上。

Wireless battery-free ultrathin lithium niobate resonator as wearable and implantable electronics for continuous monitoring of mechanical vital signs
Continuous monitoring of physiological parameters associated with dynamic biomechanics, such as intracranial pressure (ICP) and vital signs, is important for clinical diagnosis of brain diseases and timely medical intervention. Current skin-interfaced and implant technologies face challenges in terms of bulky tethers and/or percutaneous wires with high infection risks. Here, we report the wireless, battery-free, and lightweight devices for both wearable and fully implantable applications. The devices incorporate an ultrathin piezoelectric resonator with suspended lithium niobate thin film (LNTF, 3 μm thick), enabling the wireless tracking of mechanophysiological signals by detecting variations in resonance frequency. We experimentally and computationally establish the operational principles of the resonator sensor and assess the device performance as wearables for dynamically monitoring artery pulse and apnea events during respiration. Implantable wireless pressure sensors adapted from this scheme allow for untethered, minimally invasive ICP sensing with a low detection limit of 0.15mmHg over a wide range up to 240mmHg. In vivo experiments performed on rat models validate the device capabilities of accurately capturing clinically relevant ICP variations and elevated levels of ICP under pathophysiological conditions of hydrocephalus, with excellent biocompatibility after long-term implantation periods. These findings create the clinical significance of such battery-less and wireless devices for precise characterization of dynamic biomechanics of living tissues.
