Startup Injectpower was founded in early 2020 to tackle this challenge. The company is building on a technology protected by 40 CEA-Liten and CEA-Leti patents to offer rechargeable millimeter-sized microbatteries. These tiny batteries make on-demand, intervention-free, in situ measurement possible.
Doctors can now get a read on intraocular pressure (glaucoma), intracranial pressure (stroke, hydrocephalus), and cardiac pressure (hypertension). Injectpower has stayed mostly under the radar since it was founded, but the startup recently announced a partnership with a US-based medtech firm specializing in pressure sensors. Injectpower has a joint R&D lab with CEA-Leti for its future products.
