This letter describes a data telemetry biomedical experiment. An implant, consisting of a biometric data sensor, electronics, an antenna, and a biocompatible capsule, is described. All the elements were co-designed in order to maximize the transmission distance. The device was implanted in a pig for an in vivo experiment of temperature monitoring.
