JELE_V6_N2_A1 Roberto Marani Anna Gina Perri Journal on Electronics Engineering 2249 – 0760 6 2 1 12 Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), RFID Implanted Sensors, Biomedical Applications, Sensor Systems In this paper some of the possible applications in the biomedical field of the RFID technology are presented, giving an idea of the wide range of advantages that RFID devices are able to provide. In particular, those aspects of RFID technology were examined, which make possible the realization of miniaturized devices, implantable in the human body and powered from the outside, and can monitor the biological functions of individuals or even enable the therapy of diseases. Moreover, some aspects that need to be improved in the future research works are discussed such as the biocompatibility of the material for the implantable devices, the long-term exposure of the human body to electromagnetic fields, the interference caused by surrounding metallic parts, the attenuation of RF signals at particularly high frequency values and the implementation of a safe communication channel in order to guarantee the privacy of the individual.
