Mayo Clinic's BIONIC Program: A Decade of Neurological Innovation Goes Global
By
Alison Caldwell, Ph.D.
Summary
Mayo Clinic neurologist Dr. Gregory Worrell discusses the BIONIC program, a decade-in-the-making initiative that leverages emerging device and digital technologies to advance neurological care globally. Rather than viewing it as futuristic, Worrell sees BIONIC as the logical next step in the pioneering neurological work Mayo Clinic has been doing for years, aiming to scale their efforts and make major advancements in the field.

· 3 pulledTo Gregory Worrell, M.D., Ph.D., William L. McKnight-3M Professor of Neuroscience, BIONIC doesn't feel futuristic, but rather like the next logical innovation in neurological care — work Mayo Clinic has pioneered for years.
We've already invested over a decade into building the scientific, technical, clinical and ethical foundation of this program.
BIONIC is our opportunity to harness emerging device and digital technologies to scale this work globally and make major advancements rather than incremental ones.
