Millions of people suffer from long-term pain, but the problem is that current medical implants are bulky and need surgery to change batteries. This often leaves patients stuck using addictive painkillers. USC researchers found a solution with a tiny, flexible implant that has no batteries and is powered by ultrasound waves. This benefits people by using AI to read brain signals and stop pain automatically. It offers a safe, drug-free way to get relief that moves naturally with your body.
