摘要:
A pancreatic beta cell stimulation system for stimulating release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells can include an ultrasonic transducer configured to be acoustically coupled to a body of a user and an ultrasound controller configured to be in communication with the ultrasonic transducer so as to provide control signals to the ultrasonic transducer during operation. The ultrasound controller can be further configured to generate the control signals based on a planned amount of stimulation of pancreatic beta cells within the body of the user such that the control signals instruct the ultrasonic transducer to transmit ultrasound waves having selected intensity and frequency calculated to cause stimulation of the pancreatic beta cells.
