The System

Three devices that work together. Everything is external and removable.

1

The Arc — Magnetoacoustic Headband

Reads motor intent from the brain via 32-channel OPM array. Delivers focused ultrasound past the lesion. Think "move" → FUS carries the signal.

$900–1,575
2

The Suit — Full-Body Haptic Exosuit

256-electrode garment worn under clothing. High-frequency interference keeps muscles alive and fires them on command from the Arc.

$1,200–3,500
3

The Bridge — External Acoustrode Array

5–8 element acoustic+electric array in a 3D-printed spinal housing. Creates focal stimulation at the lesion. No implant.

$200–600
This system: $2,300–5,675 Current alternative: $80,000–120,000 surgery + device
