BrainSense™ technology  Engineered to adapt

.

Recent Event: UK  and IRL BrainSense™ technology experience. 

15-16 June , 2023, Birmingham, UK.

Medtronic's most recent BrainSense™ technology event took place on 15-16 June 2023 in Birmingham, UK. The event played host to a range of experts in the field who spoke on topics that ranged from An Introduction to Local Field Potentials in Clinical Practice, Using BrainSense™ technology in the Initial Programming of a Parkinsons Patient and The Role of LFPs, Image-Guided Programming and Wearable Technology to Optimise Outcomes for DBS to mention just a few.

Overview

The Percept™ PC neurostimulator features BrainSense™ technology, designed to capture brain signals (local field potentials, or LFPs) using the implanted DBS lead. These signals can be recorded simultaneously while delivering therapeutic stimulation, inside and outside the clinic.

You can correlate these brain signals with stimulation and events capturing medication, symptoms, or side effects to deliver personalized, data-driven treatment and adjust as patient needs evolve.*

Together with the Percept™ PC neurostimulator, BrainSense™ technology* is the most complete deep brain stimulation (DBS) system with sensing and directionality.

How it works

BrainSense™ technology captures brain signals (local field potentials, or LFPs) using the implanted DBS lead. These signals can be recorded simultaneously while delivering therapeutic stimulation, inside and outside the clinic.* Clinicians can also correlate these brain signals with stimulation and patient-captured events such as medication, symptoms, or side effects.
