"Non-invasive neuromodulation is an emerging field where we believe there’s a big opportunity,” said Lerman, who is also a provider with UC San Diego Health. “The potential for scale is there, since a device doesn’t have to be refrigerated. It’s not a drug. All you need is electricity to run the device or a battery. And it can use the body’s own system to tamp down inflammation.”
In addition, pairing bioelectronic medical devices with sensors can create self-regulating “closed loop” systems that can adjust according to the needs of the individual. No longer tied to a standard dose of a drug, bioelectronic devices could truly provide individualized medicine continuously adjusting doses based on feedback from a patient’s biomarkers.
While much work is still required to create such closed-loop systems, Lerman and colleagues see them as a potentially transformative approach to medical treatments.
