Passive Wireless Multi-Channel Stimulator
Passive, wireless stimulators have received significant interest due to their ability to provide therapy and rehabilitation by targeting an organ with monophasic or biphasic stimulation pulses. Wireless stimulators are advantageous because they reduce the risk of infection and inflammation by eliminating wires that protrude through the skin. Extending...

Neuromodulation to Enhance Physical Activity Behavior
Only 5% of adults over 20 years of age engage in daily physical activity for at least 30 minutes, despite overwhelming evidence showing its many physical and mental health benefits. It is clear that incorporating enough physical activity or exercise in daily life is a challenge for most people. Current efforts use social, economic, psychological and/or...
