ONWARD to Recovery (Episode 105)
Guest: Dave Marver
Today's episode is a conversation with Dave Marver, the CEO of the company, ONWARD Medical. No doubt you've heard of ONWARD. We discuss the recent news about their transcutaneous stimulation device - ARC-EX - and their effort to gain regulatory approval from the FDA, along with the results from their Uplift TRIAL. You'll find links to the trial and related articles below to help understand more about the device and trial. We also follow up with some discussion about the other products they have in the pipeline, including epidural stimulation and Brain Computer Interface (BCI) devices as well.
We want to note that Dave Marver will be attending our Symposium (September 27-28 in Atlanta, GA) and providing updates on the subjects we are discussing today. He'll also be participating in a lengthy discussion about ONWARD’s plans and current products, which should be exciting.
As always, please share your thoughts with us via email at curecast@u2fp.org. Thanks for listening!
