Abstract
The present subject matter includes an apparatus for positioning in an implant site which includes a hermetically sealed shell having an exterior shaped as a function of hydrodynamic drag at the implant site, turbulence at the implant site, fluid sheer stress at the implant site, and stagnation at the implant site; electronics disposed in the hermetically sealed shell and a power source disposed in the hermetically sealed shell.
