The National Institutes of Health awarded $1.8 million to a University of Florida engineering team developing a wireless, battery-less, injectable and minimally invasive neural stimulator powered by the patient’s body.
About the size of a grain of rice and as thick as a piece of paper, the device is designed to treat painful and debilitating nerve disorders more efficiently and effectively than existing, bulky neural stimulators with external power sources. Patients will go home faster after the procedure, meaning lower medical bills.
