Smart neuroprosthetics

The inventor, the date and place of invention

What is it?

How do smart neuroprosthetics work?

  • They connect to the brain or nerves.
  • The brain sends signals, like when we want to move.
  • Sensors in the prosthetic read those signals.
  • A small computer inside the prosthetic understands the signals.
  • Then it moves the artificial arm or leg the way the person wants.
  • Some use AI to learn and improve over time.
  • This makes the movement more natural and easier for the user.

What is it?

How to create a Patient Digital Twin?

  • Collect data – medical records, scans, DNA.
  • Build the digital twin – create a virtual copy of the patient.
  • Add real-time info – from devices like smartwatches (optional).
  • Test treatments – try medicines or surgeries on the twin.
  • Pick the best option – choose what works best.
  • Treat the real patient – use the best plan safely.
  • Update the twin – keep it current with new data.

work done by: Yara Gonçalves, 10ºB

Developed by: a group of scientists

Local of the invention: University of Cambridge, in the United Kingdom and MIT in USA

The most important progress happened around the years 2020 to 2023

The idea of a Digital Twin was first used by NASA in 2002 to monitor spacecraft. In healthcare, it started around 2016, with the Living Heart Project, a company in France.
