Fatima Al-Rashdan - العربية

Fatima Al-Rashdan's innovation is a new class of battery-free, miniaturized bioelectronic implants that utilize electromagnetic materials to provide reliable wireless power and data transmission. This technology was inspired by the clinical need for less invasive implants capable of reaching multiple therapeutic targets, particularly for complex or treatment-resistant disorders where bulky conventional devices are limited to single-site manipulation. Her approach eliminates the need for batteries and long wires, resulting in implants that are millimeter-sized and capable of multi-access deployment. The platform uses electromagnetic materials to convert magnetic fields into electrical signals and vice versa, enabling seamless wireless power delivery and data transmission across tissues. She previously demonstrated the first electromagnetic feedback communication system for deep implants and developed electromagnetic networks for pacemaking and neurostimulation in preclinical models. This unique ability to operate and coordinate multiple implants simultaneously from a single external device paves the way for scalable, multi-targeted therapies. This technology has been validated in large animal models for cardiac and neurological applications, and is now advancing towards neuromodulation applications for patients for the first time through Motiv Neurotech with the goal of delivering more precise and personalized bioelectronic therapies.
