World’s first head transplant system

World’s first head transplant system


News: BrainBridge, a neuroscience and biomedical engineering startup, is working to develop the world’s first head and face transplant system.


About:


• A concept video showing “two autonomous surgical robots performing simultaneous surgeries on two robotic bodies” is doing rounds on social media.


• The procedure involves transplanting a patient’s head onto a healthy, brain-dead donor body, with the aim of preserving consciousness, memories and cognitive abilities.


• It will employ high-speed robotic systems to prevent brain cell degradation and ensure seamless compatibility between the transplanted head and donor body.


• The BrainBridge Head Band, equipped with a Brain-Computer Interface, allows patients to communicate their needs during recovery,
control devices, and execute tasks independently using their thoughts.


• Advanced AI algorithms will guide the surgical robots in precise reconnection of the spinal cord, nerves, and blood vessels.


• Proprietary chemical adhesive and polyethylene glycol will aid in reconnecting severed neurons.


• It has envisaged self-learning algorithms to create personalised recovery plans.


• It offers new hope to patients suffering from untreatable conditions such as stage-4 cancer, paralysis, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.


• Recently, Elon Musk’s Neuralink recently implanted a computer chip in the brain of a quadriplegic man.
