FDA clears extending Epiminder’s Minder EEG monitoring to adolescents Australian-based Epiminder has been developing a continuous EEG monitoring (iCEM™) system intended to be uses in the management of drug-resistant epilepsy. The system consists of an EEG recording and transmitting device implanted under the scalp which wirelessly sends the brain activity data through the skin to the Minder Wearable. The rechargeable Minder Wearable receives and […] https://www.implantable-device.com/2026/10/31/fda-clears-extending-epiminders-minder-eeg-monitoring-to-adolescents/ #eegmonitoring #mindereeg #fda #epiminder #wearable #icem #rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit

LEAP-Block Trial Supports Left Bundle-Branch Area Pacing in Patients With AV Block The LEAP-Block randomized trial, published in JAMA on October 28, compared left bundle-branch area pacing with conventional right ventricular pacing in patients with atrioventricular block, left ventricular ejection fraction of at least 50%, and an anticipated ventricular pacing burden above 40%. Investigators at 14 Chinese hospitals randomized 499 patients, with 482 included in the primary […] https://www.implantable-device.com/2026/10/29/leap-block-trial-supports-left-bundle-branch-area-pacing-in-patients-with-av-block/ #areapacing #block #left #trial #october #jama #investigators #rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit

Senseonics Begins Human Study of Direct-to-Phone Implantable Glucose Sensor Senseonics announced the start of a first-in-human study of Freedom, an investigational continuous glucose monitor designed to communicate directly with a smartphone. The system builds on the sensing technology used in Eversense 365, adding an implanted battery and Bluetooth electronics to eliminate the separate transmitter worn over the sensor. The development goal is one year […] https://www.implantable-device.com/2026/10/27/senseonics-begins-human-study-of-direct-to-phone-implantable-glucose-sensor/ #sensor #freedom #eversense #rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit

MIT’s LUCID Implant Combines Ultrasound With Local Brain Infusion MIT researchers have developed LUCID, an experimental implant that places a 3D-printed infusion channel directly on an array of 24 miniature ultrasound transducers. A passive osmotic pump supplies fluid from an approximately 100 µL reservoir, while Bluetooth controls ultrasound delivery. The electronics include a wirelessly rechargeable battery. The design applies acoustic energy near the infusion […] https://www.implantable-device.com/2026/10/27/mits-lucid-implant-combines-ultrasound-with-local-brain-infusion/ #rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit

Saluda initiates field action for certain Evoke closed-loop stimulators Saluda Medical has initiated a voluntary field action after a manufacturing-process change at a supplier was linked to unintended stimulation and charging failures in certain Evoke closed-loop spinal cord stimulators. According to Reuters’ October 21 report, the company identified approximately 3,900 potentially affected implanted devices and said the manufacturing process had been corrected. Affected unimplanted […] https://www.implantable-device.com/2026/10/26/saluda-initiates-field-action-for-certain-evoke-closed-loop-stimulators/ #certainevoke #fieldaction #saluda #stimulators #october #affected #according #rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit

Mainstay Medical’s ReActiv8 study finds localized change in ultrasound-estimated muscle composition An exploratory Australian study published in the European Spine Journal examined whether Mainstay Medical’s ReActiv8 restorative neurostimulation changes lumbar multifidus muscle composition. Among 45 participants with complete measurements, ultrasound analysis found a lower estimated connective-tissue proportion at L3 after six months. Other examined levels showed no comparable change. ReActiv8 stimulates the medial branch of the […] https://www.implantable-device.com/2026/10/26/mainstay-medicals-reactiv8-study-finds-localized-change-in-ultrasound-estimated-muscle-composition/ #mainstaymedical #musclecomposition #europeanspine #spinejournal #change #among #rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit

Paradromics and Siemens Healthineers Collaborate on Imaging for BCI Implantation Paradromics and Siemens Healthineers announced a collaboration on October 19, 2026, to develop an integrated imaging workflow for implantable brain-computer interfaces. The planned approach combines structural and functional MRI, vascular imaging, and CT to support patient assessment, electrode targeting, surgical navigation, and localization of implanted components. Initial work will focus on speech-motor function, supporting Paradromics’ […] https://www.implantable-device.com/2026/10/26/paradromics-and-siemens-healthineers-collaborate-on-imaging-for-bci-implantation/ #bciimplantation #siemenshealthineers #healthineerscollaborate #october #mri #initial #rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit

China’s Super Vision Technology i-NYS Extraocular Stimulator Activated in a Child With Congenital Nystagmus Super Vision Technology reported that a nine-year-old patient underwent activation and calibration of its i-NYS implant at Peking University People’s Hospital on October 21, 2026, following implantation on August 25. The system uses a pulse generator implanted behind the ear to deliver electrical stimulation to the lateral rectus muscle. It is intended to reduce involuntary […] https://www.implantable-device.com/2026/10/24/chinas-super-vision-technology-i-nys-extraocular-stimulator-activated-in-a-child-with-congenital-nystagmus/ #congenitalnystagmus #visiontechnology #extraocularstimulator #stimulatoractivated #supervision #pekinguniversity #universitypeople #august #october #hospital #rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit

EPFL’s LogSync neural chip decodes interactions between brain regions consuming200 µW EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) researchers have developed LogSync, an approximately 4 × 2 mm neural system-on-chip intended for future adaptive neurostimulation systems. The chip extracts measures of oscillatory activity and synchronization between brain regions, then uses machine learning to classify cognitive or emotional states and generate stimulation triggers.
