Biophysically accurate and machine learning-based surrogate models to optimize neuroprosthesis design and operation
Electrical stimulation of the nervous system has emerged as a promising assistive technology in case of many injuries and illnesses across various parts of the nervous system. In particular, the invasive neuromodulation of the peripheral nervous system see ...
EPFL2024Synergetic Support of Cartilage Homeostasis via Coupled Thermal-Hydrostatic Pressure Stimuli
Cartilage homeostasis, crucial for musculoskeletal function, is orchestrated by interconnected biophysical cues. In healthy cartilage, repetitive compressive loading not only elicits a range of mechanical stimuli but also induces a gradual transient temper ...
EPFL2024Stimulation and homogenization of the protoporphyrin IX endogenous production by photobiomodulation to increase the potency of photodynamic therapy
Georges Wagnières, Jaroslava Joniová, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Cyrus Kazemiraad
Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is produced in the mitochondria and used as fluorescent contrast agent or photosensitizer after exogenous 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) delivery in cancer photodynamic detection and therapy (PDT). Although routinely used in the clini ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2021Multidisciplinary Approach to Treat Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a widespread disease affecting approximately 20% of men. With a rising incidence due to the global
ageing of the world population, it is estimated that over 322 million patients will be affected in 2025. While not being a lifet ...
EPFL2020Stress management in the context of induced seismicity in subsurface reservoirs
The stress state of the subsurface has been shown to have an influence on a number of key processes. For example, the criticality of the stress state indicates how large stress changes need to be before a fault begins to slip, the mean effective stress con ...
EPFL2020Advanced Neurotechnologies for the Restoration of Motor Function
Silvestro Micera, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel
Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability. Advanced technological solutions ("neurotechnologies'') exploiting robotic systems and electrodes that stimulate the nervous system can increase the efficacy of stroke rehabilitation. Recent stud ...
CELL PRESS2020An Event-Driven Closed-Loop System for Real-Time FES Control
Silvestro Micera, Andrea Crema, Danilo Demarchi
Active functional rehabilitation procedures, exoskeleton application and prosthesis employment are essential tools for the society life reinstatement of subjects affected by neuromuscular disorders or victims of serious physical accident. In this paper we ...
IEEE2019Implantable Autonomous Wireless Closed-loop Bio-electronics for Epilepsy Control
Implantable electronic medical device (IEMD) is an emerging technology that plays an important role in the treatment of several neurological disorders such as epilepsy, especially in the cases of drug-resistant epilepsy. Recent developments and studies sho ...
EPFL2019Analysis of patient-specific stimulation with segmented leads in the subthalamic nucleus
Philippe Renaud, André Mercanzini, Thuy Anh Khoa Nguyen
Objective Segmented deep brain stimulation leads in the subthalamic nucleus have shown to increase therapeutic window using directional stimulation. However, it is not fully understood how these segmented leads with reduced electrode size modify the volume ...
PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE2019Protocol for the PreventIT feasibility randomised controlled trial of a lifestyle-integrated exercise intervention in young older adults
Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu
Introduction The European population is rapidly ageing. In order to handle substantial future challenges in the healthcare system, we need to shift focus from treatment towards health promotion. The PreventIT project has adapted the Lifestyle-integrated Ex ...
