ABOUT US

The Bionics Institute is an internationally recognised, independent medical research institute that solves medical challenges with technology.

Since then, Bionics Institute researchers have developed medical devices that will change the lives of people living with hearing impairment, vision loss, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes and Crohn’s disease. This includes:
