Non-invasive transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation system for upper-limb rehabilitation
A clinician- and patient-operated system that delivers programmed transcutaneous electrical stimulation to the cervical spinal cord via skin electrodes to improve hand sensation and strength when used with functional task practice. Cleared for use in the United States and CE marked in the EU for specified indications.
Investigational implantable spinal cord stimulation system
An implantable neurostimulator system under investigation to deliver programmed electrical pulses to targeted spinal cord regions to support recovery of function and autonomic stability.
Investigational brain–computer interface research platform
Research platform combining neural decoding and spinal stimulation to enable restoration of voluntary movement (investigational).
Tune In & Transform Internal Culture
Services focused on internal culture transformation, organizational strategy, and leadership development through assessment, systemic design, and coaching.
Turn On & Drive Growth Goals
Services designed to connect your mission and values to your work, engage new and overlooked audiences, deeply understand target audiences, and activate diverse communities.
