EE Devices Seminar

Advances in miniaturized bioelectronics are enabling a new generation of closed-loop biomedical systems capable of both monitoring and modulating human physiology. In this talk, I will present our recent work on ingestible bioelectronic platforms that span the continuum from physiological sensing to therapeutic intervention within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. First, I will discuss a miniaturized ingestible sensor for continuous internal monitoring, designed to enable minimally invasive and long-term physiological sensing across diverse in vivo conditions. I will then present an ingestible electroceutical capsule for adaptable electrical stimulation of the enteric nervous system, aimed at enabling targeted and patient-specific modulation of GI physiology and hormone signaling. Together, these technologies illustrate the emerging paradigm of closed-loop bioelectronics, where integrated sensing, wireless communication, and therapeutic actuation converge to create intelligent biomedical systems for next-generation healthcare applications.
