Researchers from the SFB 1270 - ELAINE at the University of Rostock are setting new standards in medical technology with the newly developed STELLA stimulation unit. The compact system, which acts as the heart of intelligent implants, enables personalized electrical stimulation directly in the human body for the first time. This groundbreaking technology could lead to decisive advances in the treatment of neurological diseases or in rehabilitation in the future.
What is unique about STELLA is its versatility: it can be adapted to a wide range of medical requirements and impresses with its energy efficiency and miniaturization. The project combines highly specialized expertise from the fields of electrical engineering, biomedicine and materials science and was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
With STELLA, the University of Rostock is underlining its pioneering role in interdisciplinary research and offers a promising perspective for the future of intelligent implants with this innovation.
