Popis: The present paper describes the new generation of a device developed for microcurrent stimulation for treatment of diseases. The main goal is to show and discuss technological innovations that make easier the use of this technique by health professionals and allow data sharing among several specialists. In addition to the previous version, the new equipment brings full-automated control of each treatment phase using an ATMEGA328P-PU chip that communicates via Bluetooth with an Android app. Moreover, now it is possible to follow the patient evolution at the reach of the hands since all data are accessible in a mobile device. The new features make possible to create new approaches to test the effectiveness of noninvasive microcurrent stimulation for treatment of injuries.
