Wireless monitoring and control of implantable magnetoelectric devices

A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, including instructions configured to cause one or more data processors to perform a set of actions including:

• sending instructions including an implant stimulation protocol to each implantable device of a plurality of implantable devices for delivering stimulation to a target tissue, wherein:
• each of the plurality of implantable devices includes a magnetoelectric film, an electric circuit coupled to the magnetoelectric film, and one or more electrodes,
• upon application of an external magnetic field, the plurality of implantable devices are configured to emit a plurality of electric signals with one or more frequencies,
• the plurality of electric signals with the one or more frequencies overlaps to deliver the stimulation to the target tissue by interference, and
• the interference is produced by controlling a relative timing of an electrical field generated by the plurality of implantable devices;
• receiving, from the plurality of implant devices, a plurality of uplink communication that includes a plurality of identifiers corresponding to the plurality of implantable devices, temperature data and a plurality of recorded stimulation times at which the plurality of implantable devices delivers the stimulation to the target tissue,
• wherein the plurality of uplink communication is:
• performed based on one or more magnetoelectric backscattered signals measured after switching off the application of the external magnetic field, and
• encoded by modulating the one or more magnetoelectric backscattered signals during a ring-down period, wherein the one or more magnetoelectric backscattered signals are modulated by changing frequency based on the temperature data;
• accessing a plurality of physiological signals collected by one or more sensors that are physically connected or wirelessly connected to a base station;
• identifying one or more select portions of the each of the plurality of physiological signals, wherein each portion has a start time corresponding to a recorded stimulation time of the plurality of recorded stimulation times;
• facilitating a prediction, based on the one or more select portions, one or more portions of the magnetoelectric backscattered signals, the plurality of identifiers and a subset of implantable devices of the plurality of implantable devices having a target effect below a predetermined threshold;
• and
• facilitating modifying the implant stimulation protocol, based on the prediction, wherein the modification includes transmitting a new implant stimulation protocol specific to each implantable device of the subset of implantable devices.
