Abstract: A craniode is positioned in an intra-osseous fashion, namely partly or wholly within the bone of the skull, without penetrating the interior of the skull, while also being positioned below the scalp. A craniode can be used to sense electrical signals from a brain, to electrically stimulate the brain, to emit light signals to the brain, to detect light signals from the brain, to perform functional near infrared spectroscopy on the brain, and to perform photobiomodulation on the brain; and can, for example, provide the ability to perform these procedures in daily life. To resolve the problem of connectivity, each craniode can be connected, or can be equipped with features that make it connectable, to a subcutaneous cable, thus enabling the long-term usage of the craniode in real-life settings; or, active electrodes can be used to transmit signals wirelessly. Transcutaneous and sub-scalp implantation techniques are also provided.

Abstract: Provided herein are neural interface systems for a patient, the systems comprising an implantable sensor device and an external processing device. The implantable sensor device comprises: an implantable lead assembly for implantation above the skull and below the skin of the patient, and for recording physiologic parameter information of the patient; and an implantable transmitter for receiving the physiologic parameter information from the implantable lead assembly and for transmitting patient data that is based on the physiologic parameter information. The external processing device receives the patient data from the implantable transmitter. Methods of provided a neural interface are also described.

Abstract: A medical device connection station comprising a body having a first portion of a docking interface to dock with a corresponding second portion of a docking interface of a medical device, a control unit controlling a medical device communication interface for communication with a docked medical device and controlling a server communication interface. The control unit is configured acquire medical data from a docked medical device via the medical device communication interface and is further configured to connect with and obtain a data session with the server system via the server communication interface, and to thereby transfer the medical data to the server system.

Abstract: Patient care system comprising a medical device (1) for administering a medical treatment to a patient (15a) and a server system (6) configured to receive and transmit data via a communications network (16) to, respectively from users including patients (15a) and health care professionals (15b), the server system further configured to process and store data related to patient care.
