5 more brain-computer interface companies you need to know

BCI technology from Cognixion, Precision Neuroscience, InBrain Neuroelectronics and Kandu Health.

The brain-computer interface (BCI) space continues to rise in notoriety, and a number of players are throwing their hats in the ring.

Such technologies could enable users to control a computer with their brain, or even go beyond that. Countless immobile people someday could control a mouse cursor, keyboard, mobile device/tablet, wheelchair or prosthetic device by only thinking.

Big names have already established their presence in the space. Elon Musk’s Neuralink continues to make headway, while Bill Gates- and Jeff Bezos-backed Synchron has an innovative catheter-delivered implant. Blackrock Neurotech, which has a next-generation BCI, has been implanting its Utah Array in patients since 2004.

Those companies and more were covered in last year’s roundup of brain-computer interface companies you need to know. But there are several more companies ou…

Santa Cruz, California-based Neurolutions designs non-invasive BCI technology for post-stroke therapy. Kandu Health, an Imperative Care subsidiary, aims to change the course of stroke recovery and post-acute care. It provides remote, multidisciplinary support after hospital discharge through a team of clinically licensed navigators and an app. Together, they aim to raise the standard of post-stroke rehabilitation.

Through this partnership, Kandu Health plans for its expert clinicians to support Neurolutions. They’ll provide clinical consultation and assessments of stroke survivors, determining who may benefit from the Neurolutions IpsiHand system.

“By combining our educational and clinical support with Neurolutions’ technolog…

Neurolutions wins breakthrough nod for stroke rehab device

The FDA announced today that it authorized the Neurolutions IpsiHand upper extremity rehabilitation system for stroke rehab.

Approval encompasses patients 18 years of age and older who are undergoing stroke rehabilitation to facilitate muscle re-education and need to maintain or increase their range of motion, according to a news release. It is a brain-computer-interface (BCI) device that assists in rehabilitation for stroke patients with upper extremity or hand, wrist and arm disability.

Neurolutions wins breakthrough nod for stroke rehab device

The FDA announced today that it authorized the Neurolutions IpsiHand upper extremity rehabilitation system for stroke rehab.

Approval encompasses patients 18 years of age and older who are undergoing stroke rehabilitation to facilitate muscle re-education and need to maintain or increase their range of motion, according to a news release. It is a brain-computer-interface (BCI) device that assists in rehabilitation for stroke patients with upper extremity or hand, wrist and arm disability.

IpsiHand uses non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) electrodes — instead of an implanted electrode or other invasive feature — to record brain activity. EEG data is then wirelessly transmitted to a tablet for analysis of the intended motor function and the signal is sent to a wireless electronic hand brace designed to move the patient’s hand.

The aim of the device is to help stroke patients improve grasping with their hands. It is currently prescription-only a…
