BrainBridge said says it aims to offer new hope to patients suffering from untreatable conditions.
A spooky video showing the simulation of a head transplant is making waves on social media. It shows two autonomous surgical robots performing simultaneous surgeries on two robotic bodies. They take out the head from one and transplant it into another robotic body. It might appear like a scene from a Hollywood movie, but a startup in the US is actually working on this technique. BrainBridge, a neuroscience and biomedical engineering startup, has announced its ambitious goal to develop the world's first head transplant system. 🤖 BrainBridge, the first head transplant system, uses robotics and AI for head and face transplants, offering hope to those with severe conditions like stage-4 cancer and neurodegenerative diseases… pic.twitter.com/7qBYtdlVOo
The company has so far been operating in stealth mode, but now wants the world to understand more about the work it does. BrainBridge says it aims to offer new hope to patients suffering from untreatable conditions such as stage-4 cancer, paralysis, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
The procedure involves transplanting a patient's head onto a healthy, brain-dead donor body, with the aim of preserving consciousness, memories and cognitive abilities.
