NIMAS

The NIMAs project aims at developing active medical implants that address two distinct domains of neural stimulation: generation of as natural as possible action potentials and in-situ electrical stimulation of injured nerves. Two innovative neuro-stimulators will be developed: a smart overdenture or bridge to restore the information generated by periodontal receptors; and an in-situ neuromuscular electrical stimulator to promote regeneration of injured cruciate ligaments after surgery. The technical approach to be followed fosters technologies that lead to a solution with advanced characteristics in performance, efficiency, miniaturisation, and functionality.
