Neurology technology startup Synchron has turned to OpenAI’s generative AI models in order to help paralysed patients communicate. The vendor has integrated GPT-4o into its solution, which combines a brain implant alongside software to enable patients to communicate more naturally.
Why we are covering this story
Synchron’s combination of hardware and software could deliver a compelling product better than either alone.
Synchron’s decision to utilise generative AI, shows the opportunity genAI presents for enhancing a spectrum of medical devices.
Why it matters
Generative AI’s ability to leverage unstructured data could be valuable in neurology, given the complexity of the brain’s activity.
Building products in which hardware and generative AI function synergistically could deliver more compelling results than each element developed in isolation.
