Innovative applications:

-

Limited power budget

Form factor limitsenergy storage

Limited real estate (in-body)

Extreme form factor limitations (e.g. stents)

difficult communication and power supply (e.g. implants,catheters)

Quality of information depends on time and channel

Power optimization of information processing chain is adifficult task (e.g. electrophysiologic measurements)
