Miniaturized Systems to Monitor and Modulate the Electrical Function of the Digestive System
For those of you who’ve missed our recent MTF talks, we are happy to share that we are streamlining our registration process, which will allow you to register and receive your custom link shortly after you register. And, registration will not close.
Happy Summer, and greetings to all of you. While we very much miss seeing you, we hope that you and your loved ones continue to be safe and well. Please know that we appreciate your support over the years, and look forward to seeing you again. Thanks to those of you who have joined our
MTF events via our “new” Zoom format.

About the Seminar:
We will highlight recent technological and methodological advances in deploying miniaturized technologies that can monitor the spatial electrophysiologic patterns of the visceral nervous system. As an example, we will discuss recent developments of thin, stretchable, wireless biosensor patches that can be embedded within routinely used medical adhesives for recording electrophysiologic patterns of the GI tract. We will also showcase recent developments in array signal processing that enable non-invasive tracking, and source localization, of the slow wave patterns associated with the GI tract. We will illustrate how such systems can also be used in tandem with novel miniaturized pacing devices to enable closed-loop neuromodulation of the enteric nervous system. We will conclude with a summary of the knowns and unknowns in how multi-organ physiology research, technology miniaturization, and data science may create unique opportunities for the intersection of electrical engineering and neuroscience.
About the Speaker:
Todd P. Coleman received B.S. degrees in electrical engineering (summa cum laude), as well as computer engineering (summa cum laude) from the University of Michigan. He also received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from MIT in electrical engineering and did postdoctoral studies at MIT in neuroscience. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at Stanford University. Dr. Coleman’s research is very multi-disciplinary, using tools from applied probability, physiology, and bioelectronics. His research spans from developing fundamental information theory and machine learning techniques to developing technologies to monitor and modulate physiology of the nervous systems in the brain and visceral organs. He has been selected as a National Academy of Engineering Gilbreth Lecturer, as a TEDMED speaker, and as a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.

MedTech Frontiers is a continuing series of free events for medical device and life science investors, entrepreneurs, clinicians, and technologists. We have hosted over 100 talks to foster innovation, community, and learn about emerging technologies beyond our labs. Please join us for learning, conversation, networking, and presentations by Silicon Valley luminaries held on the first Thursday of each month. Events are free, but registration is requested for planning purposes.
