摘要：
A methodology used to pinpoint the location of an implantable biomedical sensing device is provided and is carried out by integrating miniaturized magnets, or materials with magnetic properties into the implantable bio-sensing chip to detect the position of the implant by sensing the induced magnetic field via an external communication unit. Presented here are various configurations in which magnetic positional detection can be carried out. The positional information collected from these detection motifs can be used to provide feedback to the user about alignment status as well as activate a self-alignment methodology. With respect to the former, based on the positional information received the user manually adjusts the location of the external communicator into place to align with the implantable platform. In the latter scenario, various configurations allow the wireless powering and communication components on the proximity communicator to automatically find and align with the implantable biomedical sensing chip.
