Wearable, Implantable Technologies & Systems Lab

The Witty Lab (Wearable, Implantable Technologies and Systems Lab) at IIITD is dedicated to developing innovative medical technologies for improving human health and the quality of life. Our previous research involved designing neural implantable devices and systems that adhere to stringent safety standards, are minimally invasive, and are suitable for practical applications. We are currently focused on innovating wearable/implantable technologies and engineering systems that seamlessly integrate with the human body to monitor, restore, or augment physiological functions in order to treat, manage, and prevent medical conditions. Our research spans various disciplines, including circuit design, electromagnetics, radio frequency (RF) engineering, antenna design, wireless power transfer, and advanced telemetry. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and interdisciplinary collaboration, we aspire to create intelligent, unobtrusive technologies that improve lives by making health monitoring, treatment, and well-being more accessible, efficient, and personalized.

Research Dimensions:

• Implantable Biomedical Devices:
