Abstract
The subject invention utilizes MEMS devices and wireless data transmission means to monitor and sense certain patient conditions or reactions, such as changes in pressure, patient movements, and tremors. These sensor devices include but are not limited to MEMS gyroscopes, MEMS accelerometers, and MEMS pressure sensors. The data from the sensor means is then preferably wirelessly transmitted to a second MEMS device to treat or alter the medical condition that has been monitored.
