This talk will give an overview of the development of several emerging technologies that capitalize on advances in wireless technologies to address clinically informed needs. From the high-frequency microwave range to the low-frequency kilohertz range, a contrast in the electrical properties exists between different biological tissues. These differences can be exploited in the development and application of minimally invasive electromagnetic-based medical technologies. Specifically, the design, fabrication, and the clinical testing pathway of prototypes addressing specific clinical needs, including breast cancer screening, brain bleed detection, bladder monitoring, and neutrophil monitoring during chemotherapy will be addressed.  This presentation will conclude with a discussion on future, unexplored avenues of research for such electromagnetic-based technologies.
