In the latest episode of Med Tech Talks, Robert Klupacs is joined by Professor Max Ortiz Catalán, Head of the Neural Prosthetics Research Program at the Bionics Institute.
In additional to his role at the Bionics Institute, he is also the Founder of the Center for Bionics and Pain Research (CBPR) in Sweden – a multidisciplinary engineering and medical collaboration between Chalmers University of Technology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, and Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg.
Professor Ortiz Catalán’s mission is to develop and clinically implement technologies to eliminate disability and pain due to sensorimotor impairment.
The Bionics Institute and CBPR are now working closely together to this mission.
In this episode you will hear about:
Max’s innovation journey from Monterrey, Mexico; to Gothenburg, Sweden; to Melbourne, Australia. The development of the bionic limb and how augmented reality can be used to relieve phantom limb pain. What motivates Max to find innovative ways to help those with amputation. More information:
