In this episode, we welcome Aryan Govil, the founder and CEO of Synaptrix Labs, a neurotech startup pioneering brain-computer interface (BCI) solutions for individuals with paralysis.
Aryan shares his incredible journey, from early exposure to neuroscience to developing Synaptrix’s flagship device, Neuralis, which empowers paralyzed patients to control their wheelchairs using brain activity. We delve into the current state of assistive devices, the challenges of integration, and the potential for AI to make non-invasive devices the new standard of care. Aryan also provides an inside look at the innovation behind Neuralis and how Synaptrix Labs is tackling issues of accessibility and affordability in healthcare. Join us for an eye-opening conversation on how BCI technology is reshaping the future of assistive care and what lies ahead for neurotech in healthcare.
