Abstract
The present disclosure describes systems and methods for improving the safety of bio-implantable electronics systems used for recording and electrical stimulation applications. The present disclosure discusses a communication protocol that provides DC balanced, bi-directional communication between a controller hub and satellite electrical stimulation and recording devices distributed throughout the patient's body. The present disclosure also describes a system for detecting and preventing current leaks along electrical pathways that may pass into a patient.
