Figure 1. Conceptual diagram of the IoT-based wireless neural implant. (Left) Device configuration integrating the wireless circuit module, electrochemical micropump module, and optofluidic neural probe via magnetic coupling, together with the electrical and fluidic connection structure. (Right) Programmable drug infusion and optical stimulation with multilevel flow-rate and frequency control; a dual wireless architecture combining Bluetooth-based local control with internet-based global remote control; and a modular drug reservoir that can be easily replaced or refilled without surgery.
