“…The system faces the problems of unexpected activation. The solution prescribed is to integrate a standalone system with an IoT device that monitors that patient to verify whether the patient requires the usage of the VNS system [19]. In addition, the IoT device has constant oversight by a third-party observer who monitors the systems and recommends due actions.…”

Generalized Tonic Clonic Seizure (GTCS) is a form of epileptic seizure in which a patient loses control over their entire body, ultimately leading to loss of consciousness. The Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) is a tool/method for treating epileptic episodes that sends counter-electrical stimulations to the Vagus Nerve in order to mitigate epileptic signals from the brain. The machine is a stand-alone device that depends on human decision-making. The proposed framework uses an IoT and Blockchain oversight mechanism to augment the device's transparency. The system counteracts against false-activation by monitoring the patient's vitals through a smart watch and allows only legitimate use. The nominal operating threshold is determined by preprocessing inferences that include an 18-year-old GTCS epileptic patient and a data set of 281 non-GTCS epileptic patients. The proposed system functions as a dual control lock where the IoT system and the manually activation system work in tandem to activate the device. Based on the values sensed by the IoT device, the deployed system is able to make decisions and regulate the use of the VNS. The IoT-Blockchain framework is able to fully eradicate false activation by increasing accuracy and transparency, ensuring the device is used correctly and safely.

“…Therefore, many implantable devices have been operated by batteries at the expense of large volume. By the fact that closedloop neural interface systems consume lower power owing to ondemand stimulation compared to open-loop systems, researchers have recently been putting significant efforts into employing WPT schemes for power delivery to the implantable closedloop systems, especially for a closed-loop deep brain and vagus nerve stimulation (Rhew et al, 2014;Ranjandish and Schmid, 2018). As such, WPT schemes become crucial for implantable closed-loop systems.…”

Miniaturized implantable devices play a crucial role in neural interfaces by monitoring and modulating neural activities on the peripheral and central nervous systems. Research efforts toward a compact wireless closed-loop system stimulating the nerve automatically according to the user's condition have been maintained. These systems have several advantages over open-loop stimulation systems such as reduction in both power consumption and side effects of continuous stimulation. Furthermore, a compact and wireless device consuming low energy alleviates foreign body reactions and risk of frequent surgical operations. Unfortunately, however, the miniaturized closed-loop neural interface system induces several hardware design challenges such as neural activity recording with severe stimulation artifact, real-time stimulation artifact removal, and energy-efficient wireless power delivery. Here, we will review recent approaches toward the miniaturized closed-loop neural interface system with integrated circuit (IC) techniques.
