Smart Brain Stimulators: Next-Gen Parkinson’s Disease Therapy
Led by Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering Nuri Ince, UH researchers have found neuro biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease that can help create the next generation of “smart” deep brain stimulators able to sense a patient’s symptoms and make adjustments in real time. Nearly 10 million people worldwide are living with Parkinson’s disease and approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with the disease each year.
