We have won the Medical Valley Award!
In collaboration with the N-squared Lab (Prof. Alessandro Del Vecchio) at FAU, we received €500,000 to work on a neuro-orthosis for the hand.
The objective of the “GraspAgain” project is to enable people with hand impairments (for example as a result of a spinal cord injury or a stroke) to grasp again. At the FAPS, we are working on the orthosis that enables the movement of the hand. The N-squared Lab is working on a non-invasive brain-machine interface that controls the orthosis through mere thought.
We are very grateful for this award as one of the five winning teams! A big thank you therefore goes to Medical Valley EMN e.V. and the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy!
