In this work, we present three flexible, miniaturized wireless device designs for wearable and implant applications, including assembly, body attachment, and implant shapes. Between Bluetooth, Wi Fi, and NFC, the wireless communication system provides the most options for each design and device, or is matched with the most effective wireless communication system. Integration with wireless communication technology enables remote control and monitoring of each design, and certain systems offer real time wireless monitoring.

The assembly type device supports all three wireless communication systems, giving the greatest range of applications and selectivity, and the sensor component can be tailored to the user's specifications. In this study, we demonstrate the applicability of two simple form sensors and three wireless communication systems in varied situations by combining them.

The small wearable device incorporates a pulse oximeter and a Bluetooth communication system, and is intended to be bent, folded, and put into the ear canal. By measuring oxygen saturation, heart rate, and temperature information in real time via the BLE communication system, we are able to continuously monitor an individual's health in daily life and, based on this data, identify abnormal signals and indicate the potential of early intervention.

By combining with iontophoretic and electrophoretic drug delivery systems, the small wireless implanted device is intended for cancer treatment. By providing voltage across three electrodes of the drug delivery system and relying on radio power transfer and radio communication control via NFC, the gadget selectively controls drug release. In addition, pharmaceuticals are released through electrophoresis within the drug carrier, and the released drugs produce an electric field through a counter electrode linked to the tumor for iontophoresis to successfully deliver the medication into the tumor. This gadget presents a revolutionary method of drug delivery and a completely controllable wireless system integration and treatment technique.
