Flexible spinal cord stimulators for pain and trauma management through neuromodulation

A spinal cord stimulator comprising:

• a flexible substrate comprised of a flexible material that is configured to have a Young's modulus of less than 3 MPa, the flexible substrate forming a contiguous structure housing all of:
• a power source embedded in the flexible substrate;
• a controller embedded in the flexible substrate and connected to the power source;
• and
• an array of electrodes, including an array of stimulation electrodes and an array of sensing electrodes, disposed on a surface of the flexible substrate and connected to the controller,
• wherein the controller is configured to direct the array of stimulation electrodes on the surface of the flexible substrate to deliver a stimulation pattern to a spinal cord of a patient, and
• wherein the controller is configured to perform machine learning, responsive to the signals received from the array of sensing electrodes, to determine a set of stimulation parameters, and
• wherein the controller is configured to adjust the stimulation pattern according to the set of stimulation parameters, and
• wherein the controller includes a neuromorphic computing component.
