Abstract

The evolution of implantable drug delivery systems has seen significant advancements with the integration of smart technologies that allow for precise, programmable, and continuous drug release. These smart implants utilize biocompatible materials, integrated sensors, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and wireless control mechanisms to optimize therapeutic outcomes for chronic and acute conditions. This paper explores the interdisciplinary development of smart drug delivery implants, emphasizing design principles, pharmacokinetic control, sensor-actuator integration, and patient-centric outcomes. The literature review focuses on key innovations in implant miniaturization, biodegradable electronics, and feedback-controlled release. Through a comprehensive methodological approach, this study models the working mechanism, evaluates experimental and simulated performance outcomes, and discusses biocompatibility and safety profiles. The results demonstrate the potential of these devices in reducing dosage errors, enhancing compliance, and enabling personalized medicine. The findings confirm that smart implants are poised to revolutionize sustained drug delivery in clinical practice, while also presenting challenges in materials science, power autonomy, and long-term biostability.
