TL;DR: Insight is given to the state-of-the-art micro/nano-systems that are proposed for implantable and wearable diagnostic, therapeutic and treatment applications and their integration with various types of energy harvesters that makes the whole system self-sustained or battery-free.
Abstract: Smart materials offer a significant role in on our lives covering various sensing and actuation applications in healthcare due to their responsivity to external stimuli such as stress, light, temperature, moisture or pH, and electric or magnetic fields. These materials are also suitable for harvesting biomechanical energies from human motions, environment or body heat, or shaping of biofuel powered devices. This will open up the horizon for nanoenergy nanosystems that can themselves act as self-powered sensors or be utilized as power sources for other integrated transducers. This paper, gives an insight to the state-of-the-art micro/nano-systems that are proposed for implantable and wearable diagnostic, therapeutic and treatment applications. The unique property of these systems apart from the flexibility or conformability of the transducers (i.e. sensors and actuators) and the uniqueness of their building materials, is their integration with various types of energy harvesters that makes the whole system self-sustained or battery-free. The incorporation of these self-sustained systems into information technology affecting smart healthcare in significant ways.

Abstract: A unique microamplification mechanism formed through the merging of smart material and microelectromechanical system concepts is presented. This microamplification device increases the useful actuation stroke of piezoceramic material through the amplification of piezoceramic strain. The technology demonstrated has utility as a microactuation mechanism for driving micropiezomotors, hearing aid transducers and precision optical switches. The microamplifier, approximately , is composed of electroplated nickel and was constructed using LIGA. An overview of microactuator system requirements and the advantages of scaling the flexure based amplifier illustrates the utility of the new device. The microamplifier is a radically scaled version of a mesoscopic mechanism. An analytical discussion of the operation is presented along with a finite-element analysis of the static and dynamic properties of the microlever. The analytical study is used to develop the operation principles and expected performance of the microamplifier. Experimental static and dynamic testing results are presented that confirm the analytical study. The mechanism has a mean amplification ratio of 5.48, an elastic stroke range of 8 m and a fundamental frequency of 82 kHz.
