IEEE Pulse Industry Corner Live with Ronja Müller-Bruhn of STIMIT

Discover how STIMIT is transforming respiratory care with innovative non-invasive neurostimulation technology designed to help critically ill patients recover from mechanical ventilation. In this episode of IEEE Pulse, Editor-in-Chief Chad Andresen sits down with Ronja Müller-Bruhn, CEO and founder of STIMIT, to discuss the company's groundbreaking approach to preserving diaphragm function in intensive care patients. Learn how magnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerve can activate the diaphragm without invasive procedures, helping reduce muscle deterioration and supporting the journey toward independent breathing. During this conversation, you'll learn about: The challenges of diaphragm muscle atrophy in mechanically ventilated ICU patients. How STIMIT's non-invasive magnetic neurostimulation technology works. The science behind phrenic nerve stimulation and respiratory muscle activation. STIMIT's journey from Swiss startup to clinical-stage medical technology company. FDA pivotal trials, Health Canada clearance, and the path toward regulatory approval. The future of respiratory support and next-generation ventilation technologies.
