The Regenesis Biomedical Clinic team is modifying the Provant® Therapy System, a medical device that delivers a pulsed electromagnetic field used for palliative treatment of postoperative pain. A new mixed-signal embedded system within the Provant extracts key data related to patient usage and device functionality and wirelessly communicates with a Regenesis database. Regenesis staff will use this system to confirm treatment regimen compliance and to remotely update therapy prescriptions.
