Abstract:
Bioelectronic Medicine (BEM), which uses implantable electronic medical devices to interface with electrically active tissues, aspires to revolutionize the way we understand and fight disease. By leveraging knowledge from microelectronics, materials science, information technology, neuroscience and medicine, BEM promises to offer novel solutions that address unmet clinical needs and change the concept of therapeutics. This perspective communicates our vision for the future of BEM and presents the necessary steps that need to be taken and the challenges that need to be faced before this new technology can flourish.
