Mar. 6, 2013—Cochlear implants provide hearing restoration to people with severe-to-profound hearing loss. The devices use a combination of surgically implanted electrodes that stimulate auditory nerve pathways and an external sound processor worn behind the ear to provide hearing sensations. Although cochlear implants are considered standard-of-care treatment for severe-to-profound hearing loss, the quality of hearing is not...
NSF grant to help engineers accelerate development of medical capsule robots
Mar. 6, 2013—The four-year project – Cyber-Physical Systems: Integrated Modeling, Analysis and Synthesis of Miniature Medical Devices – involves creating cyber-physical design and simulation platforms to capture the computational and physical components of tiny devices designed to work inside the human body. By eliminating large incisions in favor of natural orifices or small ports, these medical devices...
