ONWARD Medical

We are the neurotechnology company pioneering therapies to restore movement, function, and independence in people living with spinal cord injuries and other movement disabilities. Our purpose-designed technology platforms are designed to deliver targeted, programmed spinal cord stimulation.

The external ARC-EX® System is the first FDA-cleared device for both clinic and at-home use indicated to improve hand strength and sensation after spinal cord injury. It was named one of TIME magazine’s Best Inventions and recognized among Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas for its potential to transform lives.  

We are also developing an investigational implantable system called ARC-IM®, designed to address several unmet needs, including blood pressure instability after spinal cord injury. It can also be paired with a brain-computer interface (BCI) and artificial intelligence (AI) to restore thought-driven movement.
