About the project
The long-term vision of the STARDUST project is to monitor and treat Parkinson's Disease (PD) using novel fully-integrated, wireless, implantable ultrasonically-powered devices. The project is set to create a miniaturised neurosurgical implant which will lead to a proof-of-concept of a new treatment paradigm for PD. The project aims to have massive impact on the treatment of such diseases as PD, cancer and a wide variety of others. The data provided will be available for further development by the industry and academia after the completion of the project.
Impact of the project:
The project has the potential for a massive impact on how we treat a wide variety of disorders.
