Abstract

The Healthy Aims project, www.healthyaims.org, is a 23M four-year project funded under the European Union’s Information Society Technology Sixth Framework programme. The project aims to develop intelligent medical implants and diagnostic systems, integrating a range of underpinning microsystem, biological, and nano technologies. The project has 25 partners from 10 European Union countries, including commercial, clinical, and academic research groups. Now in its final year, the partners have achieved remarkable product results in seven projects. The project has also developed core implant components, such as the implantable power sources, RF wireless data communications system, and biocompatible encapsulation materials. This article is part of a special issue on implantable electronics.
