SMARTPHONE-CONTROLLED IMPLANTABLE NEURAL DEVICES FOR LONG-TERM WIRELESS DRUG DELIVERY AND LIGHT STIMULATION AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Various embodiments relate to an electronic device implanted in animal tissue to deliver a stimulus to the tissue and an operating method thereof, and based on a control signal wirelessly received from an external device, generates a control command, and responds to the control command. Based on it, it may be configured to input a stimulus through a neural probe that is formed of a flexible material and is drawn out to a predetermined position in the tissue. According to various embodiments, the stimulus includes a chemical stimulus according to a drug in a fluid form, and the neural probe is formed so that the drug flows, and is opened at one end of the neural probe, at least one for inputting the chemical stimulus. It may include a fluid tube. According to various embodiments, the stimulus includes an optical stimulus according to light, and the electronic device further includes at least one light emitting element mounted on one end of the neural probe to generate the optical stimulus based on a control command. may include
