What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-09-22

Track; not yet

Why
Real momentum (26 patients across 4 countries by mid-2026, ~8.5-9.5 BPS records, FDA Breakthrough tags) but still investigational with unresolved thread-retention and recalibration-drift failure modes. No approved product.
Next
Monitor PRIME/CONVOY trial readouts and peer-reviewed durability data; reassess when a commercial FDA pathway and multi-year electrode-retention data exist.

Constraints

Blockers

No named blocker is present in the current public projection.
