Human Trials for Quadriplegics: Enhancing Accessibility and Independence
Nirlink's first human trial aims to provide quadriplegics with increased freedom and independence. Through a quarter-sized implant connected to 64 ultra-thin threads, patients will be able to control computers without the need for a mouse and keyboard. The successful demonstration of this technology in a monkey named Pager showed the potential for significant positive impact on the lives of individuals with disabilities. Nirlink has received FDA approval to commence human trials and aims to finalize enrollment by the end of the year, with the first implantation expected next year.
