1. An implantable device for monitoring physiological changes in an organism, the device comprising:
- a matrix positioned proximate a biological material of the organism;
an irradiation device associated with the matrix for exposing the biological material to radiation; and
a sensor device associated with the matrix for detecting a response of the biological material to the irradiation, the response being reflective of a characteristic of the biological material.

Abstract
An implantable device for monitoring physiological changes in an organism is disclosed. The device includes a matrix positioned proximate a biological material of the organism, an irradiation device associated with the matrix for exposing the biological material to radiation, and a sensor device associated with the matrix for detecting a response of the biological material to the irradiation. The response can be used to remotely detect a characteristic of the biological material.
