  • Publication number: 20250312600
    Abstract: Neuromodulation devices and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. Various embodiments of the present technology relate to devices, systems, and methods for delivering electrical energy to a hypoglossal nerve of a patient. According to some embodiments, the present technology includes an implantable device comprising a lead and an antenna. The antenna can comprise a planar coil including a conductive wire formed into a wound portion with a plurality of spiral turns, and wherein the coil has a coil width measured in a first dimension and a coil length smaller than the coil width measured in a second dimension. The conductive wire can be biocompatible and non-corrosive.

  • Publication number: 20240390670
    Abstract: The present technology is generally directed to medical implants, such as stimulation assemblies for stimulating the septal wall of the heart of a human patent, and associated methods. In some embodiments, a stimulation assembly includes a body, circuitry positioned at least partially within the body, an electrode, and an anchor coupled to the body. The anchor can be secured to the septal wall such that the body is positioned within the left ventricle of the heart and the electrode engages tissue of the septal wall. The circuitry can be configured to receive acoustic energy and to convert the acoustic energy to electrical energy, and the electrode can deliver the electrical energy to the tissue of the septal wall to stimulate the tissue.
