About this Session:

Gert-Jan Oskam, a 40-year-old Dutch man, was paralysed in a cycling accident 12 years ago. Today, he can stand, climb stairs, and in his own words “have a beer with my friend”.It's not a modern-day miracle. ONWARD Medical’s breakthrough ARC-BCI™ Therapy makes it possible. Combining AI with implantable spinal cord neuromodulation and brain platforms, can create what ONWARD Medical calls a DigitalBridge™. This connection restores communication between the brain and the body, enabling thought-driven movement after paralysis.We’re thrilled to invite trial participant Gert-Jan Oskam and ONWARD Medical CEO, Dave Marver to the HLTH Europe main stage to share their inspirational journey.Join them live on stage where they’ll discuss how this groundbreaking investigational technology is paving the way to support functional recovery for people living with paralysis. Dave Marver will discuss the bright future of implantable technologies and how the platforms can be utilised to change the way we treat spinal cord injuries as well as share insights about the challenges faced along the way. Hear first-hand from Gert-Jan about the impact of ARC-BCI Therapy and how his life has transformed as a result.
