Abstract
Disclosed herein is an implant with sensors that can communicate with an external source under predetermined conditions. The implant can include at least one sensor configured to detect implant data, a power source, an activation switch in communication with the at least one sensor, the activation switch configured to receive an external input, and a communication module configured to wirelessly communicate with an external source. The implant data can be any of an implant condition or adjacent surgical site condition. The activation switch can be configured to initiate wireless communication between the communication module and the external source to transmit the implant data in response to receiving the external input.
