In this episode of AbbottTalks, we dive into the surprising origins of neuromodulation, kicking off with a shocker (literally)—treating headaches with electric fish.

Neuromodulation expert Yagna Pathak, PhD, Medical Science Manager of Medical Affairs at Abbott’s Neuromodulation business, explains how therapies like spinal cord and deep brain stimulation have evolved, detailing their impact on chronic pain and movement disorders. She outlines how Abbott is expanding neuromodulation applications through research in treatment-resistant depression and by integrating AI, wearables, and digital health tools.

Pathak also shares how connected care technologies—including the Neurosphere Virtual Clinic and the new Neurosphere Digital Health app—are improving patient outcomes. These platforms enhance access, enable timely interventions, and provide valuable educational resources for patients and providers.
