Introducing the Bionic Man From: Medical Design Briefs - 06/04/2014 The NIH's Bionic Man site helps viewers visually explore some of the latest bioengineering creations from research funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering. From prosthetics to artificial kidneys, these technologies are changing lives now and in the future. Some of the technologies illustrated, along with videos, include implantable sensors for prosthesis control, a robotic leg prosthesis, flexible electrodes that record brain activity, microneedle patches, glucose-sensing contact lenses, a tongue drive system for wheelchair or computer use, an artificial kidney, and more. --- The Bionic Man From: NIH Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering Browse a selection of technologies and interventions being developed by NIBIB supported researchers. These advancements may one day prevent, heal, and cure injuries and diseases.
