Abstract

The article focuses on Phantom Neuro, a neurotechnology startup that is developing an implantable interface aimed at enhancing prosthetic control through a subdermal electrode array and AI decoding system. Supported by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the company is working on a dual-use technology that benefits both military rehabilitation and civilian care by translating residual muscle signals into natural hand and wrist movements. The approach targets peripheral muscles, which may simplify surgical procedures and facilitate broader adoption in clinical settings. The company plans to conduct human testing in the coming year, contingent on regulatory milestones, while addressing key concerns for clinicians and health systems regarding surgical time, durability, and measurable improvements in daily living activities.
