In this project key micro system technologies and communication methods will be developed that bring intelligence directly to the human, in the form of medical implants and ambulatory measurement systems, and also enable information from these devices to be transmitted out into the E20-340
wider environment. The overall objective is to develop the technologies that go to make up a micro system, and then to produce specific medical devices to exploit these technologies. The resulting final medical products include cochlear and retina implants, nerve stimulation, bladder control and pressure monitoringJN0-562 systems. It is estimated from the available statistics that around 50% of the western population i.e. around 500 million citizens, will suffer from at least one of the health problems targeted in this project.
The OPTIVIP projecThe aim of OPTIVIP is the optimization of an implantable visual prosthesis based on the stimulation of the optic nerve and its demonstration within a pre-clinical study.Ethical issues are tackled in this project by specifi000-418c project tasks being devoted to obtaining input from the blind community and especially from patients and theirHP0-S19 representatives. Various aspects of the prosthesis, namely functionality, appearance and ethics are covered. This is essential in order to direct research efforts in accordance with real needs.
