MIT Technology Review (Research): check the dataset, evaluation setup, and adoption assumptions for Healthcare.
This week, I covered the story of Casey Harrell —a man with ALS who is “the first power user” of a brain implant, according to the researchers who worked with him. Harrell is paralyzed and unable to speak coherently without the device. He has now spent almost three years using a brain-computer interface (BCI) that enables him to “speak,” surf the web, and perform his job as a climate activist, largely independently. Since Harrell was implanted with the device, in July 2023,…
ゼロビズAX View — How Japanese companies can apply it
BCI技術は現在、医療機関や神経科学の研究機関向けの段階です。日本企業が直接導入するケースは限定的ですが、医療機器販売、リハビリテーション支援システム、アシスティブ技術との連携を検討する介護・医療法人には注視価値があります。ただし日本での承認プロセス・費用（海外では数百万円規模推定）は未定で、情報不足。
