 Medical device manufacturer Medtronic has developed a fully-implantable, bi-directional neuroprosthetic that is built upon existing deep brain stimulation DBS technology and has the ability to perform electrocorticogram recording and deliver functional electrical stimulation. This device is an incremental improvement to an existing Premarket Approved PMA deep brain stimulation DBS device the Activa PC. The incremental improvement enables sensing and algorithmic capabilities while maintaining full functionality for therapy delivery without appreciable loss of device longevity 9.
