brain start to recognise the end of the fngertips, Anshul tells us. ‘When the person stops doing that task, they still feel tingling on the fngertips. That helps reactivate those neural connections.’

‘We are building a system that has multiple layers. Combining the visual and sensory aspects could improve functional recovery,’ Anshul concludes.

‘We think we are the frst company in the world to combine FES, haptics and virtual reality.’

Technical challenges

The team had to overcome technical challenges to achieve this. Cameras on the virtual reality headset track users’ hands as they do therapy. The team’s frst prototype had an exoskeleton design that impeded the hand tracking and overall usability. This was refned through user testing and design modifcations.

‘For the FES, we created a sleeve with adjustable electrodes to wrap on the forearm,’ Anshul says. ‘For the haptics, we created a unique system of fnger caps connected by soft & thin wires. It goes on top of the hand and doesn’t interfere with the tracking.

What if there was an easy way to let go of all the troubling thoughts, feelings and emotions that keep going around in your head?

We’d like to tell you about a process called Access Consciousness or The Bars. The practitioner touches precise parts on the head, while you relax and de-stress, for an hour or longer. Electrical impulses build up in these points and sometimes you feel like you don’t know what to do with all this energy in your head. By the practitioner holding these points until the energy is dispersed, you feel so much lighter afterwards, you feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. It can even be life changing.

The target of Access is to get us to the point where we can let go of our experience of the trauma, drama and insanities that are present in life. We use tools that have a beneficial effect on creating positive outcomes. A phrase which is so powerful that you can use 10 times in the morning and evening to create change: “All of life comes to me with Ease, Joy, Glory and Magic.” surgery in 6 weeks’ time, so I thought I’d give it a go, not wanting to be cut open having surgery.

‘The next challenge was creating a wireless control unit for the glove that was compact and lightweight.’ Approval to sell the glove in Australia

Neuromersiv is planning a pivotal clinical trial to develop further clinical evidence on the safety and effcacy of the glove. With this evidence they will seek regulatory approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration to commercialise the glove in Australia.

‘When you work with people in their homes and clinics, it can be confronting see the challenges they can face after the brain injury. That inspires me to help people through this Ulysses solution,’ Anshul says.

The MRFF-funded MTPConnect Biomedtech Horizons program funded Ulysses with $994,000.
