Wearable Antenna Assembly

Abstract

A wearable device for facilitating neurophysiological treatment of a patient harboring an implanted neural stimulator is provided. The wearable device includes a transmitting antenna configured to accept one or more input signals and to transmit one or more electromagnetic signals to a neural stimulator that is implanted in a patient's body. The wearable device further includes a control circuitry configured to provide the one or more input signals to the transmitting antenna. The wearable device further includes a battery that provides electrical power to at least the control circuitry. The wearable device is configured to be worn outside the patient's body.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A wearable device for facilitating neurophysiological treatment of a patient harboring an implanted neural stimulator, the wearable device comprising:
 a transmitting antenna configured to accept one or more input signals and to transmit one or more electromagnetic signals to a neural stimulator that is implanted in a patient's body;   a control circuitry configured to provide the one or more input signals to the transmitting antenna; and   a battery that provides electrical power to at least the control circuitry, the wearable device configured to be worn outside the patient's body.
