Targeted neuromodulation

eHealth

Imagine a world where chronic diseases could be targeted directly by electrical signals within and through the body, targeting directly the bodily processes while reducing side effects, and improving outcomes.

By capturing and analyzing a person’s bioelectronic signals, these technologies can detect disease and, through therapeutic devices, intervene to address the underlying causes.

IMEC are innovating to make this a reality by creating solutions for Bio-Electronic Medicine utilizing nano-technology to create technologies for advanced power reduction, miniaturization, encapsulation, increased monitoring capabilities and closing the loop for specific medical applications.

As IDLab.PreDiCT we collaborate on this research with contributing machine learning technologies that can interpret the bioelectronic signals to personalize the interventions (target neuromodulation) or quickly optimize the device to the person.
