NTRAIN system

Caption

In this artistic illustration, a user with an NTRAIN implant and its accompanying external hub works in the field. The user inputs a desired time shift (due to shift work or travel across time zones). Based on cues from the body's physiology, the external hub detects the user's circadian rhythm and triggers the implant to produce precisely dosed peptide therapies.
