Presentation at the 2026 IEEE Midwest Circuits & Systems Conference (MWSCAS)

Dr. Majerus presented A 4-MHz Miniaturized Inductive Receive Chain for Closed-Loop Neuromodulation with Bladder Pressure Feedback on behalf of Leo Yang.

This work leverages the COSMIIC open-source neuromodulation system. We built a custom radio link that enables our previous wireless pressure sensor to send data directly to the implant, no external antennas needed! Software on COSMIIC interprets data in real time to decide when to stimulate the bladder, in an important step to building a neuroprosthesis for urinary continence.

Contact the COSMIIC team if you are interested in the technology!

New Article: Assessing Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction after Spinal Cord Injury

Post author By steve.majerus
Post date May 26, 2023

This paper by us and our collaborators at the University of British Columbia, summarizes spinal cord injury (SCI) research models. We are working to understand how the bladder is impacted after SCI, and eventually, how to mitigate the damage.

New Article “Wireless and Catheter-Free Bladder Pressure and Volume Sensor”

Post author By steve.majerus
Post date May 2, 2023

Congratulations to everyone involved with this significant work! We think this is the first device to measure pressure and volume in the bladder, without catheters. This technology enables at-home diagnosis of urinary incontinence, advanced treatments like conditional neuromodulation, and sensory restoration of bladder fullness.
