Artificial Intelligence may help Paralyzed Patients Regain Movement

Intel and Brown University tied up to restore the patient's movement with the help of Artificial Intelligence. Brown University plans to develop an "intelligent spinal interface" to restore limb movement and bladder control for people with Spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis. Brain's electrical commands cannot reach to the muscles once severe spinal injury occurs. According to the announcement, there are 291,000 people with spinal cord injuries in the United States as per the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center estimates. Executive Opinions Intel corporate Vice President and General Manager of the AI Products Group, Naveen Rao, said, "As a Ph.D. student at Brown, I investigated how to interface the brain with machines as an application. Now at Intel, we're combining our AI expertise with Brown University's cutting-edge medical research to help solve a critical medical problem: how to reconnect the brain and spine after a major spinal injury."
