ABSTRACT
We designed and tested a new rollable and implantable medical device to directly and continuously measure intraocular pressure. Since high intraocular pressure is a leading risk factor for glaucoma, such a system could solve the difficulties encountered in the management of this condition. In fact, glaucoma is one among those pathologies that could most benefit of an adaptive patient-specific medicine device. The presented prototype was realized with standard industrial microelectronic technologies (Flip-Chip on Kapton flexible PCB) and off-the-shelf IC components. Detailed system description and measurements, obtained during in-vitro and laboratory characterizations, are reported.
