The first patient in Asia, in Seoul, that benefit of BrainControl technology, in Locked-in state for 10 years due to a traumatic brain injury

The mission sponsored by the European Union through the “EU Gateway” program has ended in the best way. The business mission dedicated to Healthcare & Medical Technologies involved the BrainControl team in Seoul, South Korea, from 11 to 15 March.
Over the satisfaction of the many business meetings, there was the pleasure of having helped a 28-year-old man from Seoul, who has been in Locked-In for 10 years due to a traumatic brain injury and now he has started to communicate again thanks to BrainControl.

Pasquale Fedele, CEO of Liquidweb, declared: ”This mission follows the previous participation at a UNICEF initiative, where I met a family member of the patient, a researcher in Dublin. The joy and the wonder of the family were a huge satisfaction. In few time J. Y. has started to communicate with his family again and he also could tell them that he was feeling pain in his arms.”
