Abstract

A system for monitoring a site in vivo comprising a housing (10, 20, 301) configured for being immobilized in vivo; at least one sensing device (16, 26) for obtaining data of the site, the sensing device connected to the housing; a transmitter for transmitting the data obtained by the sensing device; and a receiving system for receiving the data transmitted by the sensor.
