SPARCLE at IEEE EMBC 2025

At the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (EMBC) 2025 in Copenhagen, the session Conformal Neural Interfaces: Technologies and

Applications highlighted recent advances in neuroelectronics.

Within this session, Vasso Giagka presented research on long-lasting, high-density conformal neuroelectronics constructed from medical-grade polymers. This work is closely aligned with the objectives of the SPARCLE project.

The presentation addressed several themes central to SPARCLE’s focus:

• Precision through understanding - advancing bioelectronic therapies requires a detailed knowledge of nervous system function.

• Miniaturization - ongoing progress is enabling the transition from bulky systems to compact, battery-less implants.

• Multimodal stimulation - approaches such as ultrasound offer the potential for improved selectivity and adaptability.

• In vivo validation - long-term safety and reliability must be demonstrated under real-world conditions.

• Collaboration - interdisciplinary research is essential to progress in neural interface technologies.

  
  

These perspectives underscore SPARCLE’s commitment to developing safe, effective, and adaptable neurostimulation systems for chronic disease management.
