1. A topical nerve stimulator system comprising:
- a flexible dermis conforming patch defining a surface and formed by a substrate;
electrodes positioned on the patch proximal the surface and directly coupled to the substrate;
electronic circuitry embedded in the patch comprising a system on a chip that is directly coupled to the substrate and comprising;
an electrical signal generator configured to electrically activate the electrodes;
a signal receiver in communication with the electrical signal generator;
an antenna;
a transmitter; and
a receiver;
a remote control device in wireless communication with the electronic circuitry, the remote control device configured to provide a signal to start stimulation on a user via the electrodes, the signal generated in response to the user interacting with the remote control device.
