Synergia Medical is a Belgian company founded in 2014 developing a neurostimulation system that powers the stimulation electrodes by photovoltaic conversion of light pulses produced by a generator connected via optical fiber.
The concept is to reduce major metallic components such that the device can be operated while the patient undergoes a functional MRI (fMRI), and hence, according to Synergia, allow the device’s performance to be assessed and optimized at the time of implant. Continue reading
