Digital health investments hit a six-year low in the second quarter of 2023, but nine promising startups still secured big deals in August — from Zivian Health to TytoCare.
The burgeoning industry is already inundated with unrealistic expectations driven by overly-ambitious promises. BCI startup Synchron is trying a different tact.
At the heart of this innovation lies a revolutionary technology known as a brain-computer interface (BCI). Dr. Edward Chang, chair of neurological surgery at UCSF, and his team have dedicated over a decade to perfecting this technology. They achieved a major breakthrough by implanting a thin rectangle containing 253 electrodes onto the surface of a woman's brain.
People who have lost the ability to speak could benefit from brain-computer interfaces. But communication barriers can limit their participation in research studies.
Their brain computer interface produces words three times more quickly than previous ones. it's also more accurate than before, although there are still some errors in words. they say the research is at a very early stage and lots of refining of the technology is now needed before it can be used as a device at home. by using brain signals, scientists hope to restore more rapid communication to those who can no longer speak, whether through paralysis, a stroke or degenerative brain disease. philippa roxby, bbc news. fascinating story. even with all the caveats about how longer they need to work...
