  • Publication number: 20240363218
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to treatment evaluation and recommendation using implantable magnetoelectric devices. Particularly, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a method that includes sending, to a user device of a subject, first software code that presents, at a user interface of the user device, requests for input that are informative of an instantaneous user characteristic of the subject. Second software code is sent to a base station that is coupled to implantable devices implanted in regions of the subject. The second software code causes the base station to send a signal to the implantable devices with an instruction to execute implant stimulation protocols. A communication that represents inputs detected at the user interface while or after the implant stimulation protocols were being executed is received. A treatment recommendation for the subject is determined based on the communication and is output.
