Abstract
The prevalence of chronic diseases , also known as non-communicable diseases , is putting a structural load on our healthcare system. Our current healthcare system relies mainly on pharmaceutical solutions which are expensive and have a low efficacy. This project will build a platform for peripheral-nerve based Bioelectronic Medicine (BEM) which will revolutionize how we practice medicine and dramatically improve the outcomes of healthcare. The goal is to build a microelectronic chip and a small, flexible formfactor of an implantable pulse generator as the core of a universal neuro-stimulator. This chip and formfactor will act as a platform, and will be specified and validated based on three application areas: neuro-based cancer treatment, severe migraines and spinal cord stimulation.
