Energy Efficient Electrode Design to Treat Neurological Disorders

Summary

Researchers at Purdue University have developed new electrode designs to prolong the lifetime and function efficacy of implantable pulse generators. It was found that certain shapes can be used to more efficiently deliver electrical charge for stimulating the nervous system. Data shows that the electrode design reduces power consumption by up to 50 percent while increasing functionality effectiveness. This new electrode design could be used in implantable simulation systems that are used to treat a large number of neurological disorders. It will work in existing platforms or in a standalone system.
