Realizing a clinical-grade electronic medicine for peripheral nerve disorders is challenging owing to the lack of rational material design that mimics the dynamic mechanical nature of peripheral nerves. Specifically, long-term stability of devices interfacing peripheral nerves is challenging, since dynamic mechanical deformations in peripheral nerves cause material degradation in devices. Therefore, the strategies for stable application in the nervous system requires that the devices should be soft and stretchable to feasibly allow autonomous mechanical nerve adaptation. Additionally, the neuodmouatlion by using this flexible neuroprosthetics strongly assists in dysfunction of its disorders without nerve tissue damages. In this talk, we introduce the flexible neruoprosthetics platform and its bi-directional neuromoulation applications. This bi-directional neuromodualtion by using flexible neuroprosthetics proves to be a solution for challenges in neurological disorders.
