IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine's unique aim is to publish original work in the intersection of engineering and clinical translation. The journal's focus is interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers, healthcare providers, and industry and aims to publish results and best practices from these translational efforts.
Kyle D. Slater graduated with first class honours in BE (electrical and electronic engineering) and BS (physics) from the University of Melbourne, Australia. Kyle is currently completing a PhD at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Melbourne, where he is developing custom integrated circuits for neuro stimulation and recording applications. This project is in collaboration with the Bionics Institute, Melbourne, Australia and St. Vincent’s Hospital, Melbourne, Australia.
Prior to commencing his PhD, Kyle worked as an electronic engineer at the Bionics Institute for two years where he was responsible for the design and development of clinical hardware and software systems. He is currently a visiting scholar at the department of electrical engineering and computer science, University of California, Berkeley. Kyle is primarily interested in the application of electronic systems towards improving treatment and diagnosis of medical conditions.
This paper presents an innovative neurostimulator for use with a suprachoroidal retinal prosthesis. Clinical test results are described which show it to be effective in eliciting visual percepts in a profoundly vision-impaired subject with approximately 20 years of light perception...
