摘要
Networks of distributed interactive micro-implants could enhance the treatment of otoneurological conditions such as tinnitus or restore impaired complex physiological/ motor functions such as gastrointestinal motility or grasping. For this, an electrical stimulation of neural and muscular tissue is a key prerequisite. Challenges in the development of such interactive micro-implants are the complex human-machine interface, the wireless power supply, and the long-term stability of implants as well as secure and safe signal transmission. This paper addresses all these topics as well as the ethical, legal and social implications of smart implant networks in general. First achievements of the German innovation cluster INTAKT will be presented.
