Implantable devices obviously have stringent technical requirements dictated by the specific functionality in the body. This session brings expert views from industry leaders in the field and insight in the challenges for integrated circuits in emerging biomedical devices.

Time	Label	Presentation Title Authors
14:00	11.1.1	ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES Speaker: Renzo Dal Molin, Sorin Group, FR Abstract Saving lives with cutting-edge technology is at the heart of active implantable medical devices. The introduced technology innovations are developed targeting both patients and health economic outcomes, they also contribute to a more efficient healthcare.
14:30	11.1.2	TOWARDS NEXT GENERATION DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION Speaker: Michael Decré, Medtronic Eindhoven Design Center, NL Abstract Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) should soon reach a profound transformation step with the inclusion of high-resolution probes and active sensing. This will allow very precise brain modulation, enable chronic disease monitoring and finally open up closed-loop stimulation research. Driven by therapeutic improvements, Medtronic is actively pursuing its innovation agenda for the future of DBS.
15:00	11.1.3	INTEGRATED CIRCUITS AND MICROSYSTEMS FOR EMERGING BIOMEDICAL DEVICES Speaker: Minkyu Je, DGIST, Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology, KR Abstract IC technologies and integrated microsystems enable emerging biomedical devices by providing seamless interface to various sensors and actuators, high-efficiency operation with various energy sources (especially, renewable ones), high-level integration and miniaturization, embedded intelligence, and connectivity.
