Abstract :
Spinal cord stimulator implants could use less power and be made much smaller as work from Taiwan and Israel eliminates off-chip high-voltage devices from the implant´s pulse generator. This will reduce implant-related discomfort for patients using such implants to control chronic pain, and the work could also be applied to other medical devices, including muscle micro-stimulators.
