    摘要: Patient treatment systems and methods for sensing cardiac depolarization and/or stimulating the carotid sinus nerve are disclosed herein. Exemplary patient treatment systems can include a neuromodulator and an implantable signal delivery device electrically coupleable to the neuromodulator. The signal delivery device comprises a lead body including a first region, a second region positionable over the first region, and lead electrodes. The patient treatment system further comprises computer-readable media having instructions that cause the patient treatment system to perform operations comprising: (i) obtaining a physiological parameter of the patient, (ii) generating neuromodulation pulses based on the obtained physiological parameter, and (iii) delivering the neuromodulation pulses to the CSN afferent fibers via one or more of the lead electrodes. The physiological parameter can include at least one of blood pressure, heart rate, bioimpedance, or activity level of the patient.

    摘要: A biocompatible soft pressure sensor comprises: a stretchable top electrode comprising a first elastomeric substrate and a first biocompatible conducting polymer coated on an inner surface of the first elastomeric substrate; a stretchable bottom electrode comprising a second elastomeric substrate including a textured inner surface comprising an array of peaked structures, and a second biocompatible conducting polymer coated on the textured inner surface, where a coated tip of each peaked structure is in contact with the first biocompatible conducting polymer; a top encapsulation layer on an outer surface of the first elastomeric substrate; and a bottom encapsulation layer on an outer surface of the second elastomeric substrate. A resistance measured by the biocompatible soft pressure sensor changes upon exposure to an external pressure.
