Battery-Free Implant Offers Smart Pain Relief USC's Battery-Free Implant Aims to Provide Non-Addictive Pain Relief

Reports say chronic pain affects 51.6 million Americans, and the effects are considered “high-impact” for about 17 million of them, influencing their life or work. Traditional methods of pain relief, such as opioid medications, carry the risk of addiction among other side effects. Current spinal cord stimulators are alternatives, but are expensive and require invasive surgery with a need for…

Nordic Acquires Neuton.AI to Advance TinyML Nordic Integrates Automated TinyML with nRF54 Series Through Neuton.AI Deal

Nordic Semiconductor is acquiring Neuton.AI’s core technology and IP. Neuton.AI specializes in automating Tiny ML processes, making it easy for non-experts to build AI models.
