Methods and systems relating to biological systems with embedded mems sensors

A pressure sensor device at least partially implantable into a body, comprising:

• a flexible circuit having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the flexible circuit being provided with at least one opening extending between the first surface and the second surface;
• an antenna for at least transmitting data;
• at least one pressure sensor mounted on the first surface of flexible circuit over a respective one of the at least one opening of the flexible circuit for measuring a pressure within the body, the measured pressure being coupled to the at least one pressure sensor through the respective one of the at least one opening of the flexible circuit;
• a wireless interface circuit connected to the antenna and the at least one pressure sensor, the wireless interface circuit for transmitting a signal indicative of the measured pressure via the antenna;
• an encapsulant deposited over at least a portion of the at least one pressure sensor and a portion of the flexible circuit including the first surface and excluding the second surface of the flexible circuit;
• and a flexible coating encapsulating at least the at least one pressure sensor and the encapsulant.
