Flexible Ready-to-Customize Platforms
Fully-Programmable, Rechargeable Pulse-Generator, Controller, Wireless Charger and Wireless Powering Platform with Titanium, Ceramic and Peek Enclosure Options
01. FLEXIBLE MODULAR DESIGN
Every feature is modular: Simply remove the modules you do not need by not populating the hardware components... If you need a device with only 2 electrodes, 16 electrodes, or any number of electrodes in between, you do not need to change the design; simply do not populate the unused modules. The same applies to any other feature you may not need, including the near-field or far-field radio modules.
The design features a highly-efficient SCMR (Strongly Coupled Magnetic Resonance) wireless power transfer technology, that can be converted to the traditional Inductively Coupled wireless power transfer by simply removing the resonance coil assembly. Therefore, instead of using the RF-transparent ceramic can, one can use a traditional titanium case. However, if you so desire, SCMR can still be kept if the power transfer antenna is placed inside the silicone header!
IT IS A FULLY-PROGRAMMABLE AND TOTALLY-MODULAR DESIGN THAT CAN BE ADOPTED FOR PRACTICALLY ANY IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL APPLICATION.
We believe that "smart" devices will enable doctors to make more effective therapy choices for their patients. These devices will lower costs to the healthcare system, lower costs to the caregiver and keep patients in the therapeutic range of treatment more often. The Lone Star platform is fully programmable through simple C-code that can be adopted to any conceivable indication, including indications that have not as yet been discovered. This is the first software-defined indication platform in the world.

05. CLOUD READY
Medical-device companies have never had a better opportunity to be the bridge that connects healthcare providers to their patients. As hospitals and clinicians seek to deliver health services anywhere, medical-device companies can be key to bridging distance, time and boundaries between clinicians and patients thanks to the latest advances in telecommunications. Our platform can be made to communicate with the internet via simple Wi-Fi connectivity (or, optionally, via Bluetooth technology) by pairing with any mobile device and 3G, 4G or 5G mobile data path and connect patients with health-care providers in real time for two-way communication.
06. EASY ADOPTION TO EXISTING QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
