Abstract

This work provides an overview of the present state-of-the-art in the development of deep brain Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and how such devices alleviate motor and cognitive disorders for a successful aging. This work reviews chronic diseases that are addressable via DBS, reporting also the treatment efficacies. The underlying mechanism for DBS is also reported. A discussion on hardware developments focusing on DBS control paradigms is included specifically the open- and closed-loop "smart" control implementations. Furthermore, developments towards a "smart" DBS, while considering the design challenges, current state of the art, and constraints, are also presented. This work also showcased different methods, using ambient energy scavenging, that offer alternative solutions to prolong the battery life of the DBS device. These are geared towards a low maintenance, semi-autonomous, and less disruptive device to be used by the elderly patient suffering from motor and cognitive disorders.
