1. A stimulating device being equipped with an electrode element recording and stimulating nerve signals for diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain or Alzheimer's disease, wherein the stimulating device provides electrical stimulation for chronic pain or Alzheimer's-causing proteins or measures bio signals, the stimulating device comprising:
a controller;
a substrate being coupled to a bottom of the controller, and having a wireless power receiving and signal delivering electrode being mounted thereon as a single body or being distinctively mounted thereon, wherein the wireless power receiving and signal delivering electrode is configured to wirelessly receive power and wirelessly deliver bio signals; and
an electrode element being coupled to a bottom of the substrate and being configured to deliver electrical stimulation to tissues inside a body,
wherein the electrode element comprises:
a base substrate; and
at least one pillar-type electrode part protruding from the base substrate,
wherein the at least one pillar-type electrode part is configured to be inserted into the tissues to deliver the electrical stimulation,
wherein a non-conductive coating layer is formed on an entire portion of a side surface of the pillar-type electrode part.
