New medical device technology is essential for diagnosing, monitoring, and curing wide
spectrum of diseases, anomalies and inflictions. For neural applications, currently available
devices are generally limited to either a curing or a probing function. In this paper we review the
technology requirements for new neural probe and cure device technology currently under
development. The concept of probe-pin device that integrates the probes for neurochemistry,
neuroelectricity, temperature and pressure into a single embodiment with a wireless power
transmission was designed for the purpose of deep brain feedback stimulation (DBFS) with
insitu neural monitoring. The probe considered for monitoring neurochemistry is a
microspectrometer. The feature and size of micro-spectrometer are defined for the DBFS device.
Two types of wireless power transmission technology were studied for DBFS device operation.
The test results of pig skin showed that both power transmission technologies demonstrated the
feasibility of power feed through human tissue.
