Zusammenfassung:	The following relates generally to measuring a patients O2 level with a mote implanted in the patient's tissue. For example, a mote implanted in a patients tissue may be powered by ultrasound (US) signals generated by an ultrasound interrogator that is external to the patient. Components on the mote may be duty cycled off to advantageously decrease power consumption. A luminescence sensor on the mote may be used to measure the O2 level, and the luminescence sensor may be optically isolated from the patients tissue by an opaque material such as black silicon.
