Abstract

A drug delivery system that allows a spatial, flexible and precise control of drug delivery, whilst being minimally invasive has been widely researched, with light stimulated smart hydrogels appearing as an attractive platform. However, as light has limited penetration through biological tissues, we have developed an integrated micro-device comprising of a wireless powered light source, and a photodegradable hydrogel to enable for deep-tissue therapeutics. Midfield wireless power transfer is permitted by the micro-device's miniaturized size, allowing for a penetration depth of several centimetres. Release studies have also shown a sustainable, targeted and controllable cargo release.
