NeuroBionics
NeuroBionics is pioneering the future of precision bioelectronic medicine by developing the next generation of implantable devices, designed to seamlessly interface with the human body. Our core technology lies in flexible, multifunctional fibers the size of a human hair, which can record and stimulate neural activity, deliver drugs, and ablate tissue. Using an endovascular approach, we will navigate our microscopic-sized flexible fiber implant through the intricate network of blood vessels to deliver precise therapeutic intervention to neural tissue. By making neural interfacing a minimally-invasive procedure, we will revolutionize deep brain stimulation and broaden access to this lifechanging therapy. By doing so, we aim to improve the lives of millions grappling with conditions like Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, epilepsy, and depression.
