US Patent 11911625 Systems and methods for controlling wirelessly powered leadless pacemakers

Systems and methods for heart stimulation in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a heart stimulation system, including a first wirelessly powered, leadless pacemaker, including a wireless power receiver tuned to a first frequency, an energy harvesting circuitry, a stimulation circuitry, and a stimulation electrode, a controller, including a wireless power signal generator, a wireless power transmitter tuned to the frequency, a processor, and a memory containing a stimulation control application, where the stimulation control application directs the processor to generate a power transfer signal using the first wireless power signal generator, and transmit the power transfer signal using the wireless power transmitter, wherein the wirelessly powered, leadless pacemaker receives the power transfer signal using the first wireless power receiver, and when receiving the power transfer signal, the energy harvesting circuitry stores power received via the wireless power receiver in at least one capacitor.
