Now, a new algorithm developed by Brown University bioengineers could be an important step toward such adaptive DBS. The algorithm removes a key hurdle that makes it difficult for DBS systems to sense ...

Wearable health sensors such as photoplethysmography (PPG) wristbands, ECG patches and multi-modal biometric devices are typically developed and calibrated under controlled laboratory conditions.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- By delivering small electrical pulses directly to the brain, deep brain stimulation (DBS) can ease tremors associated with Parkinson's disease or help relieve ...
