Onward Medical Revives Hope for SCI

“We thought that the folks would only turn on stimulation when they felt faint or lightheaded, but in fact, they’re using the stimulation the entire waking day because the stimulation is stabilizing their blood pressure, more oxygenation is reaching their brain,” Onward Medical CEO Dave Marver explains in this Vanguards of Health Care podcast episode. Marver sits down with Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Matt Henriksson for an in-depth interview about Onward and how its developments differ from other companies that utilize brain-computer interfaces (BCI) by connecting BCI technology to its ARC platform to stabilize blood pressure and restore movement of the human body, instead of simply using the patient’s thoughts to control computer functions. Marver also discusses the initiation of its Empower BP Pivotal study to assess the use of its ARC-IM system to address blood-pressure instability after spinal cord injuries (SCI).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
