Elegance in Simplicity: "Wearable Assisted Implants"
From: Medical Design Technology - 02/22/2017

The International Neuromodulation Society defines therapeutic neuromodulation
as "the alteration of nerve activity through targeted delivery of a stimulus,
such as electrical stimulation or chemical agents, to specific neurological
sites in the body." The world is only very recently seeing the true potential
of what neuromodulation can accomplish with Parkinson's disease, epilepsy,
chronic pain from a variety of etiologies, etc.

In order to be successful, implantable neuromodulation devices need to be
separated into individual components. Fortunately, implantable
neurostimulators can be broken down into logical pieces allowing medical
device designers to simplify implant technology, which can reduce surgery
time, patient recovery time, and complications. This can also allow for the
combination of technologies from multiple clinical applications.
Neuromodulation does just that by combining technology from neurosurgery and
cardiology, with a little splash of Cable TV to put the patient in a familiar
driver's seat - in control of their electronic environment.
