Topical neurological stimulation

A method for controlling a body function of a user comprising:

• applying a flexible dermis conforming patch to a dermis of the user in proximity to a selected nerve, the patch formed by a substrate and comprising electrodes directly coupled to the substrate, electronic circuitry embedded in the patch comprising a system on a chip that is directly coupled to the substrate and comprising an electrical signal generator configured to electrically activate the electrodes, a signal receiver in communication with the electric signal generator, an antenna, a transmitter and a receiver;
• applying an electrical signal generated by the flexible dermis conforming patch to the selected nerve;
• and
• sensing nerve stimulation response;
• the applying in response to a signal to start stimulation on the user via the electrodes from a remote control device in wireless communication with the electronic circuitry, the signal generated in response to the user interacting with the remote control device.

A topical nerve stimulator patch comprising:

• a substrate;
• electrodes positioned on the patch proximal the surface and directly coupled to the substrate;
• electronic circuitry embedded in the patch comprising a system on a chip that is directly coupled to the substrate and comprising:
• an electrical signal generator configured to electrically activate the electrodes;
• a signal receiver in communication with the electrical signal generator;
• an antenna;
• a transmitter;
• and
• a receiver;
• the electrical circuitry configured to be in wireless communication with a remote control device, the remote control device configured to provide a signal to start stimulation on a user via the electrodes, the signal generated in response to the user interacting with the remote control device.
