Development and application of a wireless, in body data acquisition system for observation of experimental rabbit’s bone healing

A wireless electronic measuring and data collection system was developed for live animal experiments. The measurement unit was implanted under the skin of the experimental animal during surgery. During the bone healing process, the galvanic voltage between the installed screws, the temperature, the acceleration of the animal and the voltage of the installed battery were measured and recorded. Using the measured and transmitted data, makes it possible to monitor the bone healing process of the experimental animal. We present here the detailed description of the whole measurement system, and some results of the measured data.
