Healthcare Reimagined.

Already on the leading edge of electronic stimulation for new applications like stroke recovery, UConn Health's Dr. Christopher Conner, who specializes in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, is on the verge of another one. He joins Dr. Anthony Alessi to explain how Vivistim has been opening new doors to regaining function after stroke, who the best candidates are, and how a similar concept for autoimmune disorders may not be far behind.

I see patients back in my clinic all the time who've had this done, and it's incredibly gratifying to see how much benefit they can get from it. It's been remarkable.

— Dr. Christopher Conner
