An Overview of Metamaterials in Biomedical Applications
Communication technologies and biomedical sensors can provide services for the patients vital signs to be monitored outside the clinical environment.The need for implantable telecommunication devices for medical applications has been growing rapidly over the past ten years.Microwave antennas and sensors are key components of telemetry systems related to medical applications.Metamaterials are artificial materials which have the electromagnetic properties that may not be found in nature.The unusual properties of a metamaterial have led to the development of metamaterial antennas,sensors and metamaterial lenses for miniature wireless systems which are more efficient than their conventional counterparts.Metamaterials exhibit a very sensitive response to the strain,dielectric media,chemical and biological sensing applications.A wide area of biomedical applications using metamaterials has been discussed in this review.The design concept of metamaterial antennas in ISM band is presented.Later,the fundamental theory and recent progress of metamaterial in sensors,lenses and absorbers are reviewed for various healthcare applications towards its practical implementation.
