King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Saudi Arabia has successfully performed the first procedure in the Middle East to implant a smart device inside the brain to improve the management of chronic neurological diseases.

This innovation relies on monitoring abnormal electrical activity and sending precise electrical pulses, which helps alleviate symptoms and reduce medication dependence by up to 50%.

This device enhances the quality of life for patients, particularly those suffering from Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy.
