Summary
Bionic devices are being developed to treat a variety of neural disorders including blindness. Conductive hydrogels (CHs) are a new soft material developed by the CI to improve device performance and safety. This project will explore CH technologies with an aim of producing flexible organic electronics for high resolution devices, such as the bionic eye. Collaboration will be sought through industry, academia and clinical researchers to accelerate technology translation from bench to bedside.
