🎉 Kudos to Unite 2 Fight Paralysis (U2FP) for the success of its 19th Annual Science & Advocacy Symposium in Atlanta despite special weather challenges this year! 💨   We were thrilled to sponsor this event, and we joined scientists, clinicians, investors, those with spinal cord injury (SCI), and their caregivers over the weekend to share the work we are doing to address the unmet needs of the SCI Community.   Our CEO Dave Marver and Jim Guest - MD, PhD, FAANS, Professor at the University of Miami and the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, and principal investigator of our Up-LIFT pivotal study – spoke during a special session on translation (due to the travel impact of Hurricane Helene).    🎤 The presentation, titled “Translation, Is ‘Five Years’ Finally Here?” covered the following:   ⭐️ The SCI Community has been waiting a long time for new therapies to become available. Dave Marver spoke about our commitment to the SCI Community, and why we are well-positioned to deliver on our mission to improve the lives of those with SCI.   ⭐️ Dave explained how investigational ARC Therapy™ works and spoke about our plans to bring the investigational ARC-EX® System to the SCI Community.   ⭐️ Dr. Guest covered the results of the Up-LIFT pivotal trial, which were published in Nature Medicine, and achieved all primary safety and effectiveness endpoints. *You can find more details about the study from the link in the comments. 🔗   ⭐️ The pair answered questions from clinicians, caregivers, and people with SCI about the study, our therapies and pipeline of potential solutions.   In addition, Blake Pokress, our VP US Sales, met with conference participants to answer their questions about our mission and technologies.   💫 Special thanks to U2FP for providing a forum to share our breakthroughs with members of the SCI Community. We look forward to continuing the conversation!   #EmpoweringMovement #SCI #U2FP   *Moritz, Chet, et al. “Non-invasive spinal cord stimulation for arm and hand function in chronic tetraplegia: a safety and efficacy trial.” Nature Medicine. 2024.   Note: All ONWARD® Medical devices and therapies, including but not limited to ARC-IM®, ARC-EX®, ARC-BCI™, and ARC Therapy™, alone or in combination with a brain-computer interface (BCI), are investigational and not available for commercial use.
