The Problem
Roughly 5.3 million people suffer from paralysis caused by stroke and spinal cord injuries every year. Of these people, 65% with arm paralysis and 55% with leg paralysis never regain full function. There is no cure for permanent paralysis.
The Status Quo
Current treatments focus on providing marginal quality of life improvements. Wheelchairs, physiotherapy, medications, and corrective surgeries don't attempt to restore independence, but try to make life more tolerable. However, we believe that physical independence should be accessible by all.
Our Solution
We're building system composed of a non-invasive brain computer interface and a functional electrical stimulation system to convert a person's thought to movement.
We believe that pursuing a non-invasive approach allows us to reach a greater population that would benefit from this technology.
This system allows us to restore near-frictionless independence to a person with paralysis. We're currently refining our system for pre-clinical trials.
