AbstractThis project aims to overcome some of the fundamental challenges in the field of implantable medical devices (IMDs) by addressing the critical issue of power source size. Traditional IMDs, such as cardiac pacemakers and neural stimulators, rely on bulky batteries, making them invasive and requiring frequent replacement surgeries. This research proposes an innovative solution using advanced wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies integrated with a novel metasurface slab. The metasurface slab,
