  • Patent number: 12343567
    Abstract: A neurostimulation device with ultrasound transducer elements is disclosed. The ultrasound transducer elements may be adapted for endoluminal delivery to a deployment site in a lumen of the substrate. The transducer elements may be used to focus acoustic energy, by controlling either the phase delay, time delay, or both, or the ultrasound signals. Further, the plurality of transducer elements may be arranged in a grid arrangement having at least two dimensions.

  • Publication number: 20220305296
    Abstract: An endoluminal neurostimulation device includes a plurality of ultrasound transducer elements forming a transducer array. The plurality of transducer elements are provided on or in a substrate layer that is adapted for endoluminal delivery to a deployment site in a lumen of a subject. The transducer elements are operable to focus acoustic energy emitted from the transducer array by controlling one or more of the phase delay and time delay of ultrasound signals emitted from the plurality of transducer elements such that acoustic energy emitted from the transducer array is maximised at a neuronal target near the deployment site to achieve stimulation thereof.
