015 BrainSense and the Future of DBS

/ By / 1 Comment


In this episode, we will be speaking with a movement disorder specialist and a patient about the next generation of Deep Brain Stimulation technology – just approved by the FDA.  This new BrainSense system is the next step toward a closed loop communication between brain activity and the smart software and hardware that can make a huge difference in a PD patient’s quality of life.

Thank you to my sponsor – Medtronic. Medtronic is the maker of Percept™ PC, a Neurostimulator with BrainSense™ Technology. It is the first and only DBS system in the U.S. with this groundbreaking BrainSense™ technology that allows clinicians to capture a patient’s brain signals, enabling more data-driven, personalized treatment for patients with neurologic disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease.

    Very interesting since I have DBS and am always interested in what the “next step” will be. DBS changed my life and I recommend that anyone who qualifies for it look into it. I am thrilled that they are constantly investigating ways to improve the DBS. I have the new Precept and am anxious to learn everything that it can do.
