Systems and methods for ultrasound neuromodulation of desired anatomical targets
Summary
This patent describes ultrasound-based neuromodulation systems that can precisely target nerves in tissues such as the spleen or liver for therapeutic effect. The system uses transducer arrays to focus ultrasound energy on specific anatomical targets, enabling non-invasive neuromodulation without the need for implanted electrodes.
Why it matters
Ultrasound neuromodulation offers a non-invasive alternative to implanted neurostimulation devices for conditions like hypertension and autoimmune disorders. Surf Therapeutics' technology could address the large unmet need in bioelectronic medicine by providing a non-surgical option for patients who are not candidates for implantable devices.
