Imagine if you could treat pain the same way you treat a cut: throw a bandage on it and let it heal.
Thimble Bioelectronics is working on a patch based on Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) that’s designed to provide this type of portable pain relief.
TENS is a type of treatment that uses low voltage electrical stimulation to alleviate certain types of pain. The treatment is typically performed via a small machine, but Thimble Bioelectronics is busy designing a wearable application of the technology designed to adhere to the problem area and provide TENS treatment for the pain. Details of the exact form the TENS patch will take haven’t yet been revealed, but the company says it will include integrated Bluetooth connectivity that works with an accompanying smartphone app for pain tracking and management.
As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. Thimble Bioelelectrics CEO and primary founder Shaun Rahimi began work on the device when dealing with his own chronic back and arm pain. Tired of trying unsuccessfully to treat his pain with available methods that were costly, difficult or riddled with side effects, Rahimi, a medical device designer, decided to work on an alternative.
Thimble estimates that there are 1.5 billion people living with chronic pain around the world. While there are a host of other pain management products available, Thimble hopes its patch will be easier to use, without side effects and more affordable than existing alternatives.
