Project Grant 2615024

The National Science Foundation awarded Trustees of Indiana University $278,045 under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) on December 1, 2025, for development of a parity-time-symmetric biotelemetry system enabling real-time, continuous wireless monitoring of physiological signs from battery-free implantable microsensors with high accuracy and unprecedented resolution. The project focuses on advancing wireless, implantable sensors for monitoring patients with early-stage heart failure and other chronic diseases including eye disease and brain injury, leveraging RF interrogation through an ultracompact, portable reader to acquire and wirelessly transmit biological signals from wearable medical devices and bioimplants. The work supports healthcare Internet-of-Things systems requiring low-cost, energy-efficient, and ubiquitous operation. Performance occurs in Indianapolis, Indiana, with a completion date of February 28, 2027.
