Ability Hand featured in IEEE Pulse magazine
IEEE Pulse is one of the biggest magazines for electrical engineering in biology and medicine, and the Ability Hand was featured in the April issue. The story includes thoughts from PSYONIC's CEO Aadeel Akhtar on where the company is headed.
Here's an excerpt:
"Many believe that electrodes implanted in the nervous system will be the next big frontier for the field of bionics. At PSYONIC, Akhtar and his colleagues are using Google's TensorFlow platform to create an algorithm that trains a bionic hand to act like a biological one using implanted electrodes. By recording movements from a user’s remaining hand, they can then leverage the data they collect to train nerve implants on the other side of the body.
PSYONIC is also developing a technique that will enable surgeons to directly anchor a bionic finger to a patient’s residual bone. A titanium implant connects the device to the bone, while an artificial tendon sutured onto a residual tendon allows the user to control the prosthetic finger with their own muscle."
