Implantica’s eHealth platform, e-InVivo™

Implantica’s e-InVivo™ is subject to further development and approval process.

The eHealth and wireless energizing platform is designed to be used with many different implants. The intention is to drive the approval process of 2-3 products and the platform technologies in parallel and providing Smart medical implants where treatment is designed to be changed on distance, to potentially save substantial costs for Society.

While most development regarding eHealth is focused on gathering information from outside the patient’s body, Implantica’s eHealth-system is designed to monitor, deliver, and handle data as well as treat illnesses from inside the body. This enables a reduced cost of care and better patient outcomes.

The eHealth Platform is designed to be a landmark in the eHealth marketplace

• Monitor and take automatic action to cause desired treatment effect
• Control bodily functions
• Communicate with caregiver and patient
• Adjust treatment on distance

e-InVivo™ aims to continuously monitor a multitude of health parameters from a multitude of sensors inside the body.

The Implantica eHealth Platform is designed to be a digital health system to support our pipeline of smart medical implants intended for safe and secure control and monitoring over the internet. The Implantica eHealth Platform is intended to reduce unneeded or inefficient in-person healthcare visits by allowing the remote monitoring and treatment of long-term or chronic illnesses by medical professionals. Health information to be generated from the active implanted devices and integrated with data collected from the patient’s mobile health devices such as, smart phones, watches, and digital scales, is targeted to be monitored by healthcare professionals remotely.

The eHealth platform is designed to allow healthcare professionals to observe the state of the device and make treatment modifications over the internet, enabling more personalized care, increasing treatment quality and reducing cost. Treatment information presented to the patient through their personal smartphone or other devices is intended to keep them informed and engaged in their therapy, which is expected to lead to better patient compliance and outcomes. The information collected by e-InVivo™ is processed by its control unit, designed to transfer information wirelessly to healthcare providers and their databases including an external device of the caregiver such as, a smart phone, laptop or table, enabling the surgeon to control the treatment. 

e-InVivo™ under development to be approved together with multiple devices is designed to send the information to external devices of the caregiver and to generate automatic responses or alarms.

An uncompromised commitment to the cybersecurity of the devices and system is at the center of this technology. The e-InVivo Smart Implant is designed to ensure end-to-end integrity of all health data transmitted over the internet. Similarly, the design involves the healthcare professional to be authorized to apply treatment changes to a particular person and device and change the treatment.

The Wireless Energizing Platform and e-InVivo Smart Implant are designed to collect anonymous real-world data for performance monitoring and diagnostics. This targets the continuous improvement of the system and devices, gains insights to the devices in the field and pushes any needed updates to measure the effectiveness of our treatments and support product improvements.

The data to be stored within the Implantica eHealth Platform is designed to be accessible through an Implantica-provided terminal to minimize the time to onboard a new hospital and can optionally be integrated into an existing Hospital Information System.

To further leverage the value of the platform, Implantica may potentially build eHealth databases of information collected from inside the body. The data would be collected solely on the basis of informed patient consent and in full compliance with applicable data protection regulation.

These databases target to be an important tool in the development of eHealth-oriented healthcare, helping medical researchers and health-care providers identify treatment weaknesses and potential cost reductions.

Implantica has designed an eHealth platform with safety and efficiency in focus, adapted for the future of our entire pipeline portfolio of devices, designed to revolutionize healthcare and save costs for society.

Such advanced eHealth technology is targeted to provide the most advanced and often completely new treatment approaches, and Implantica has gone through the whole body to investigate how the platform technologies could improve Healthcare and has been able to create >1000 patents whereof after market and product analysis >40 implant products has been selected from our pipeline.

eHealth platform – the digitilization of healthcare

The e-InVivo™ eHealth platform is a small, intelligent implanted device designed to allow early detection, easy monitoring and better treatment with the possibility to change treatment on distance – designed to save substantial costs for society.

Advanced technology into the body requires wireless power

Implantica’s wireless energy transmission and control system designed to safely power implants directly or recharge them wirelessly through intact skin. The technology also allows for the wireless control and exchange of data, enabling postoperative adjustments, continuous data feeds and greater quality and reliability of data reporting directly to both the patient and caregiver.

As demand increases for proactively enhancing one’s health by monitoring vital parameters, an alternative design approach of our wireless energized platform aims to provide an optimal tool for measuring a multitude of health parameters and providing diagnostic information. e-InVivo™ is designed to be available either as a supplement to our other smart medical implant products or as a stand-alone implant. 

Benefits of e-InVivo™

Early detection, easy monitoring with data collected inside the body and transferred to external devices or caregivers

e-InVivo™ is designed to allow early detection, easy monitoring and thereby better treatment of many life-threatening and life-deteriorative conditions as well as control replacement of bodily functions.

While many others focus on collecting data from outside the body, Implantica’s implant e-InVivo™ has the potential to collect information from inside the body and should safely communicate with a user-friendly interface the collected and analyzed data to external devices or to a healthcare professional/caregiver.

Field Description

The WHO defines eHealth as “…the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for health.” In general, the demand for self-monitoring health devices is fast growing. We believe that eHealth has the potential to revolutionize how, when, and where healthcare will be implemented. In order to improve treatment results and reach a more effective use of the limited financial and human resources within the healthcare sector worldwide, healthcare systems will increasingly focus on preventive care, treatment outside the hospital setting as well as the early detection and treatment of diseases. Everyone will, for example, aim at minimizing the need for extensive, complicated and time-consuming surgeries that drain resources. Products and services improving early detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases will have a large market potential.

Health awareness among an increasing portion of the world population, together with the advent of many new tools and applications to monitor vital parameters create more knowledgeable patients who take an increasingly active part in the choice and implementation of their treatment. We expect that treatment will, to a larger extent, be carried out closer to the patient, with caregivers having the ability to remotely monitor patients’ health conditions.

Existing Treatments

While Implantica’s focused field is eHealth inside the body, the self-monitoring healthcare devices in existence today are concentrated on monitoring and collecting data from outside the body. The most prevalent include wearable devices such as bands or watches for the wrist or belts to be worn across the chest to measure, for example pulse rate, EKG signals, temperature and calories. Apps for the phone can be downloaded to measure certain parameters such as movement like steps taken, sleep intensity, blood pressure, respiratory and heart rate, and provide vision and hearing tests. A blood glucose monitoring device is an example of an advanced system to measure glucose levels in the tissue fluid.
