Stanford researchers at the Poon Lab have developed a method for battery-less, short range transmission of data with very low power and very high data rates. It can potentially replace current near field communications (NFC) systems due to these advantages.
Stanford researchers have created a portable, wearable device for long-term nystagmus tracking to better diagnose episodic vertigo. Current methods utilize head goggles in video nystagmography to monitor eye movement while the patient is in a clinical setting.
Stanford researchers have developed a wirelessly powered, fully internal implant which allows for optogenetic control of neurons throughout the nervous system in mammals, and in particular, mice.
Researcher in Prof. Ada Poon's laboratory have developed a way to increase the efficiency of rectification and power management of wirelessly powered implants that are operated in the electromagnetically weakly coupled regime.
