  • Integrated power delivery, communication, and health monitoring system for implantable electrode
    Patent number: 10485979
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for improving the safety of bio-implantable electronics systems used for recording and electrical stimulation applications. The present disclosure discusses a communication protocol that provides DC balanced, bi-directional communication between a controller hub and satellite electrical stimulation and recording devices distributed throughout the patient's body. The present disclosure also describes a system for detecting and preventing current leaks along electrical pathways that may pass into a patient.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 22, 2017
    Date of Patent: November 26, 2019
    Assignee: The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc.
    Inventors: Daniel Guyon, Brent Hollosi, John R. Lachapelle, Brian Nugent, Matthew Muresan, Jesse J. Wheeler, Andrew Czarnecki
