About the Presentation
Devices that sense and modulate the electrical signals of the nervous system can be used to treat a broad range of diseases, providing a more targetted and efficacious treatment than traditional systemic medications. Recent research efforts have focused on miniaturizing these medical devices as a path forward to precision medicine. In this talk, I will present a background of bioelectronic medicine and discuss my recent work in developing an ultrasonically powered implant. The miniaturized implant delivers controlled stimulation and is demonstrated in vivo on a rat sciatic nerve.
