title: A portable microsystem-based telemetric pressure and temperature measurement unit.
abstract: This article shows how a fully implantable stand-by device for measuring intracorporal pressure and temperature under normal conditions can be implemented, consisting of a sensor element combined with a transcutaneous telemetric interface. One further point of interest is automatic event recognition in order to capture special signal components in an emergency situation. Therefore, signal processing and waveform analysis are exigent, first to observe the measured signal in realtime on a portable unit, and second to process the data offline on a stationary unit.
