n critical care settings, accurately monitoring comatose patients is vital, yet traditional methods of assessing neurologic health through pain stimulation present significant clinical and ethical challenges. Based in the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Dignity Health, in collaboration with Creighton School of Medicine and Arizona State University, is working on a project that introduces a breakthrough in patient care: a wearable transcutaneous electrical stimulation system. This technology replaces conventional, injury-prone techniques with a safe, consistent method that directly activates pain fibers without physical contact. By eliminating the variability of manual methods, it significantly enhances the precision of neuromonitoring, facilitating timely, effective interventions and elevating the standard of patient care.
