The apparatus uses a near field magnetic link to transmit a coded signal from a sensor module or from a remote actuator to the stimulus module worn on the patient. The stimulus module uses a unique flyback circuit design and the electrical stimulation is tuned to achieve a maximum physiological response with minimal power drain. | |
