Deseret News recently featured Biologic Input Output Systems (BIOS) and our work with the University of Utah to restore natural movement and sensation to people living with limb loss.
The story follows Avi Davidson a participant in our 9th clinical study, who lost his arm at 17 and is now using tge Utah Bionic Arm at home. Using the BIOS Universal Neural Interface, which connects directly to the peripheral nervous system, he can control a robotic arm by thinking about the movement, the same way he once moved his own hand. Just as important, the system sends signals back to the nerves, so he can feel what the prosthetic hand touches.
The article also highlights the at-home phase of the trial, decades of research from the Utah NeuroRobotics Lab, and future applications of the technology.
For BIOS, this coverage reflects our goal of a “USB port for the human body,” a single interface that lets the brain communicate naturally with robotic limbs and digital devices. Our first application focuses on people with upper-limb loss.
