The guest speaker is alumnus Marom Bikson, PhD, Professor of Biomedical Engineering at The City College of New York. An expert on neural engineering, Bikson is also associate editor of Brain Stimulation Journal. Abstract: Electrical stimulation devices are becoming compoundingly complex. However, to democratize electrotherapy, devices should instead be cheap and easy to use - more like pharmacotherapy. Wearable Disposable Electrical Stimulation is a fundamental new electrochemical technology platform using no electronic components. Rather devices are formed from a novel printable manufacturing based on abundant, environmentally-benign, safe materials. Application-specific prescribed electrical discharge is delivered in a disposable band-aid form factor (~1 mm thick, in any flexible planar shape). Devices are single use: auto-discharging upon application and disposable. Thus, while all conventional electrical stimulation devices use an independent power source and electronics, and require connecting accessories and programming at each use, our design eliminates these steps. At scale, the cost-of-goods approaches that of a drug tablet. We envision a future where indication-specific versions of Wearable Disposable Electrical Stimulation are distributed at pharmacies alongside drugs and topical creams. Where patients can carry a therapy dose folded in their pocket and discreetly apply it whenever needed. Please note special time & location for this co-hosted event. Light refreshments. RSVP requested. This event is an educational forum with prominent presenters active in all areas of research. The series brings together researchers, scientists, clinicians and students in the Northeast Ohio Research Community to encourage the exchange of scientific information on global emerging neuromodulation and neurostimulation topics.
