Products

AI-driven farm-to-market data insights platform

A software platform that integrates production, sales, and supply-chain data with AI/ML analytics to help small and medium farms optimize what and how much to grow and connect with distributors.

Neural-enabled prosthetic system

An implantable neuroprosthetic system that interfaces with peripheral nerves to provide sensor-derived tactile feedback and grip-force information to upper-limb prosthesis users, evaluated in human clinical studies.

Non-invasive neurostimulation haptic devices

Wearable transcutaneous stimulation devices (e.g., bands or bracelets) designed to provide graded multi-modal sensory feedback for virtual or extended reality interactions and rehabilitation tasks.

Research imaging facility (MRI)

Institutional access to a research-grade MRI scanner and associated imaging workflows to support device evaluation and human-subject studies.
