1. A wireless biomedical telemetry system comprising:
- one or more electrodes or sensors, wherein said one or more electrodes or sensors are configured to monitor physiological parameters or environmental conditions of a subject;
a miniaturized device weighing less than one gram and having a volume less than one cubic centimeter and comprising a wireless transmitter and a power source, wherein said wireless transmitter is operably connected to the one or more electrodes or sensors and converts the monitored physiological parameters or environmental conditions of the subject into a modulated signal;
an antenna, wherein said antenna is capacitively coupled with said wireless transmitter for receiving the modulated signal; and
a receiver operably connected to said antenna, wherein said receiver demodulates said modulated signal to monitor the physiological parameters or environmental conditions of the subject,wherein the miniaturized device is mounted to the subject with minimally invasive procedures and at least a portion of the miniaturized device is external to the subject.

Abstract
Provided herein are embodiments of a miniature wireless biomedical telemetry device along with systems and methods for its use. A miniature amplifier and transmitter allow recording of physiological signals from small animals, such as rats, mice and birds, as well as humans. The device is positioned externally and is easily replaceable, as is its battery, so surgical complications and other problem problems are minimized.
