Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of wireless power transfer (WPT) technology in biomedical devices is not a new challenge. Since the early developments of WPT technology, implanted biomedical devices have been carefully considered. One of the biggest problems with active implantable medical devices (AIMDs) is the power supply to the device itself. A WPT system can transfer electrical energy via inductive, capacitive, or electromagnetic coupling from an external source to a biomedical device without using wires. For AIMDs, applying WPT technology is very beneficial as the device battery can be recharged remotely without having to surgically replace the device itself when the battery is low. WPT technology can be applied to low and very low power devices, such as pacemakers, neurostimulators, endoscopic capsules, etc., but also to high-power devices, such as artificial organs or heart pumps. The application of the WPT system on biomedical devices requires great attention because there are many electrical and clinical requirements such as system size, power level, electric and electromagnetic safety, temperature rise limits, etc. The Special Issue focuses on the modelling, simulation, and optimization of wireless power and/or charging systems for biomedical devices that can be implantable but also wearable. Potential topics also include, but are not limited to, system design and optimization, advanced compensation, electromagnetic field safety, and dosimetric analysis.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
