Sechenov University Showcases New Rehabilitation Technologies in Moscow
The event featured advanced patient recovery tools and drew attention from Russia’s science minister.
At Sechenov University in Moscow, an exhibition of patient rehabilitation technologies brought together developments from universities and leading domestic companies.
Sechenov University researchers demonstrated neurointerfaces that record neural activity associated with movement and transmit electrical signals to prosthetics or computers. One of the most notable projects was a chip designed to stimulate retinal cells. The implant converts light into electrical impulses that target damaged areas and could help restore vision.
“It was especially encouraging that Minister
of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov visited our booth and took an
interest in our university’s developments,” said Anastasia Gorina, a junior
researcher at the Institute for Bionic Technologies and Engineering at Sechenov
University.
