Deep Brain Stimulation Device Having Wireless Power Transmission Mechanism
First Claim
1. A deep brain stimulation (DBS) device using a wireless power transmission mechanism to stimulate a cerebral nerve of a patient having abnormal motor and sensory functions so as to normalize functions of a brain of the patient, the DBS device comprising:
- a hat module which is installed at a hat put on a head of the patient to transmit microwaves; and
an implantation module which is implanted through a skull under a scalp to contact the cerebral nerve of the patient, receives the microwaves from the hat module, transforms the microwaves into direct current (DC) power, and stimulates the cerebral nerve using the DC power.

Abstract
Provided is a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device using a wireless power transmission mechanism to wirelessly receive microwaves from a power transmission antenna installed at a hat put on a patient, transform the microwaves into power, and drive electrodes implanted into a brain of the patient using the power so as to correct abnormal motor and sensory functions of the patient using power which is wirelessly transmitted from an outside into a body of the patient. The DBS device includes: a hat module which is installed at a hat put on a head of the patient to transmit microwaves; and an implantation module which is implanted through a skull under a scalp to contact the cerebral nerve of the patient, receives the microwaves from the hat module, transforms the microwaves into direct current (DC) power, and stimulates the cerebral nerve using the DC power.
