Proposal of a Bioinspired Patch for the Real-time Monitoring of Neurological Trauma

Abstract

Neurological trauma, damage to the brain, spine, or nerves, can happen as a result of both neurosurgery and vehicle accidents. It may be risky to cause damage during surgery because of humans' ineffective capacity to repair neurons; as a result, the market may require a medical device specifically made to address this problem. The accessory limb model (ALM), one of the most typical regeneration models, has demonstrated that it has significant potential to improve regeneration outcomes and might be used for the regeneration of human brain tissues. Nowadays, many implanted medical devices interact with circuitry outside the body via cables or wireless RF telemetry. However, wires usually result in a huge chance to increase surgical difficulties such as wire breakage, infection, and electrical noise. Intrabody communication, as a result, became a preferable and safer way of communication in the design of implantable medical devices, and is used in the device introduced in this article.
