Myant & Coapt collaborate on textile-based neural interfaces for pain management
Myant Corp., a leader in textile computing for healthcare, and Coapt, an innovator in neural interface systems, have announced a strategic partnership for assistive technology. The collaboration will focus on developing textile-based electromyography (EMG) interfaces to enhance prosthetic devices and therapeutic solutions.
This partnership merges Coapt’s advanced EMG intent-decoding technology with Myant’s expertise in textile innovation. Together, they aim to deliver solutions offering superior comfort, precision, and control for prosthetic limb users. The collaboration also holds potential for addressing phantom limb pain and advancing biofeedback therapies.
“Myant and Coapt are aligned in their commitment to improving quality of life through seamless integration of technology with the human body,” said Tony Chahine, CEO of Myant. Coapt’s CEO, Blair Lock, emphasized the shared objective of developing solutions that enhance user autonomy and functionality while ensuring optimal comfort.
The collaboration will extend into virtual and augmented reality applications for medical therapies, with research and clinical trials planned to explore broader implications. These initiatives aim to set new benchmarks globally for assistive technology and patient care.
Myant will showcase these innovative advancements at CES 2024, which will take place January 7–10 in Las Vegas, USA. Live demonstrations with Coapt will provide a platform to engage the global healthcare community and accelerate the adoption of these technologies.
Myant integrates sensor and actuator technologies into textiles, enabling continuous interaction with the human body to deliver health, safety, and connectivity. Coapt is a leader in AI-driven myoelectric prosthesis control systems, offering solutions compatible with over 450 unique prosthetic configurations.
This collaboration signifies a major step forward in assistive technology, advancing comfort, precision, and therapeutic possibilities for users worldwide.
