Abstract

In the past decade, many researchers have reported on the online health monitoring of animals and humans using various techniques like Zigbee module, mobile ad network, zero-time effort technology, and microstrip patch antenna. However little has been reported on the partially absorbable 3D-printed implant sensor and the effect of the substrate’s thickness on the sensor’s performance for online health monitoring of animals and humans. This study details partially absorbable 3D-printed implant sensors and the role of substrate thickness for online health monitoring of animals. An application of sensors in cattle (buffalo) is also highlighted, which helps to monitor the health conditions of bovine. This implantable sensor was composed of polyvinylidene fluoride composite, polylactic acid, and 17-4 precipitation hardened stainless steel (SS).
