We are developing an advanced Deep Brain Stimulation system to improve the treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Current devices benefit only half of the patients, due to imprecision in directing the electrical current to the ideal brain targets. Our system aims to deliver the current more selectively. Our implant will contain more and smaller electrodes. We will also use a state-of-the-art stimulator, implantable on the head, with capabilities far beyond the current technology.

我们正在开发一种先进的脑深部刺激系统来改善帕金森病的治疗。目前的设备只能使一半的患者受益，因为在将电流引导到理想的大脑目标时不精确。我们的系统旨在更有选择性地输送电流。我们的植入物将包含更多更小的电极。我们还将使用最先进的可植入头部的刺激器，其功能远远超过目前的技术。
