NerveRepack is a CHIPS-JU Research and Innovation Action that will develop a new generation of bidirectional implantable electrodes connecting the human nervous system with external mechatronic aid devices such as exoskeletons and exoprostheses, thus helping people with arm amputations or leg paralysis regain their motor and sensorial functions. 

Electrodes will be the primary bidirectional interface to the nerves, followed by the implantable electronics module. All the components will be designed, fabricated, and tested through three demonstrators aimed at different categories of patients: with forearm amputation, with lower limbs paralysis and with single leg paralysis. 

The new generation of exoprostheses and exoskeletons controlled by the patient’s brain via the nervous system will change the paradigm of support for people with disabilities and will have an important social, economic, medical, and technological impact.
