Mason and Wen Li Received: 27 June 2014; in revised form: 14 October 2014 / Accepted: 21 October 2014 / Published: 31 October 2014 Abstract: Several conditions and diseases are linked to the elevation or depression of internal pressures from a healthy, normal range, motivating the need for chronic implantable pressure sensors. A simple implantable pressure transduction system consists of a pressure-sensing element with a method to transmit the data to an external unit. The biological environment presents a host of engineering issues that must be considered for long term monitoring. Therefore, the design of such systems must carefully consider interactions between the implanted system
