 Microsal represents the research efforts of multiple faculties to create a third-generation implant-supported neuro-electrostimulation embedded device. This research report will only report on the hardware/firmware/software details regarding the project. As described in the related work section, the device’s main goal is to electrically stimulate the bucal and lingual nerve in order to produce the salivary response and increase the comfort of the patient. Additionally, besides the stimulation logic, the design also includes 2 passive sensors that are used to objectively evaluate the current conditions of the patient.  Microsal represents the research efforts of multiple faculties to create a third-generation implant-supported neuro-electrostimulation embedded device.

Additionally, besides the stimulation logic, the design also includes 2 passive sensors that are used to objectively evaluate the current conditions of the patient. 
 The information taken from the sensors will be used to determine if the patient’s condition is deteriorating or improving over time, providing valuable insight on the effectiveness of the treatment. This represents the next logical step for the evolution of the generational prototypes. Also, to facilitate communication to the device we have decided to use a chip that has a Bluetooth Low Energy component integrated inside. The NRF51822 chip, by Nordic Semiconductors fits the bill, being a highly advanced ARM microcontroller, with BLE functionality and extremely low power requirements The information taken from the sensors will be used to determine if the patient’s condition is deteriorating or improving over time, providing valuable insight on the effectiveness of the treatment.

 In order to have the required results, with a minimum of energy expenditure we set out to find a signal pattern that produces a measurable response.  In order to have the required results, with a minimum of energy expenditure we set out to find a signal pattern that produces a measurable response. 
 We started by describing all possible signal parameters (see the waveform explanatory image), and implementing the control hardware and software in order to enable all of them. We considered that a sinusoid approximation is enough to stimulate the neurons without harming nearby tissue. The assumption was supported by the experiment description at [3]. We started by describing all possible signal parameters (see the waveform explanatory image), and implementing the control hardware and software in order to enable all of them.

-Experimentally (table 1) we determined that the patient responds favorably to a wide range of stimulation patterns, the one notable difference being when we used a combination of low pulse duration, low frequency, and low voltage. These results will be applied in the power optimization phase of the next iteration).+Experimentally (table above) we determined that the patient responds favorably to a wide range of stimulation patterns, the one notable difference being when we used a combination of low pulse duration, low frequency, and low voltage.

 The device, once soldered will be stored in a bio-compatible metal cylinder casing, designed to provide protection and support. The casing will be attached similarly of a dental implant, inside the bone of the patient (3rd generation neuroelectrostimulation device). The casing is designed to provide the support and function of a real tooth, while not obstructing wireless communication.  The device, once soldered will be stored in a bio-compatible metal cylinder casing, designed to provide protection and support.
