Patient Monitoring (Irene)

Individualized IT solution for disabled (Mitch)

This brain gate chip is implanted into the surface of the patient’s brain. The chip then picks up brain impulses related to movement, sends them to a separate machine that then translates the brain signals into commands that the servo motors in the robotic arm can under stand.
