NEUROENGINEERING
WE UNDERSTAND NEUROENGINEERING AS A DISCIPLINE
THAT USES ENGINEERING METHODS TO SUPPORT, IMPROVE
OR REPAIR THE NEURAL SYSTEM.
Under this premise, we are developingadvanced medical devicesto treat neurological diseasesto enable the elderly and disabled as well as the chronically ill or injured persons to compensate or accelerate the recovery of their lost functions (such as mobility) and facilitate personal autonomy while improving their quality of life. We strive to provide healthcare professionals with the best clinical instruments to enable them to improve the assessment and rehabilitation process; for businesses to improve competitiveness in the healthcare market or diversify their offer to include new health realms.
We are committed to the creation of an innovative healthcare industry with global presence, meeting both people’s needs and market requirements, acting as leverage for our industries’ competitiveness and enabling access to a sophisticated and high value sector.
WE TRANSFORM TECHNOLOGY INTO VALUE, WEALTH AND FUTURE
Did you know? → 600 million people need rehabilitation,
but only one third receives it.
→ Access to advanced rehabilitation technologies is still quite limited despite the fact that it helps reduce healthcare system costs and greatly improves the therapy results.
→ Neurological disorders affect millions of people around the world and according to WHO, cardiovascular disease, epilepsy, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, obesity or sleeping disorders have the highest prevalence.
→ A compound annual growth rate of 20% has been estimated for the advanced rehabilitation device market. According to the Wintergreen Research report, the rehabilitation robotics, active prostheses and exoskeletons market is expected to increase from $43.3 million (2014) to $1.8 billion by 2020.
WHERE NEUROENGINEERING BRIDGES BODY AND MIND.
COMPENSATE, ACCELERATE, RECOVER AND REHABILITATE TO IMPROVE PEOPLE’S LIVES.

TECNALIA researchers are our greatest asset, and their passion is our driving force. Some of the leaders of our neuroengineering team are:
Dr. Joseph McIntyre _
Having studied Engineering, Biology and Neuroscience at Caltech and MIT, has made a career of the interface between human physiology and engineering, helping to build bridges between these two disciplines.
Dr. Thierry Keller _
Director of the Neurorehabilitation department and President of the Functional Electrical Stimulation Society (IFESS) has developed various neuroprostheses that help improve the walking and grasp functions in physically impaired subjects.
Dr. Ander Ramos _
Bio-medical engineer and PhD in neuroscience leading neurotechnology and neural interfaces work backed by his international background and several international awards
WE ARE CERTAIN THAT TODAY’S INNOVATION SHOULD BE OPEN.
Therefore, we connect with international knowledge centres, people worldwide and leading companies to accelerate our and their research processes while improving the resources.

ADVANCED MANUFACTURINGNew insights for the “Industry and Factory of the Future” which will be smart and connected, automated and cognitive, flexible as well as sustainable, social and collaborative.
HEALTH & AGEING
Technology can play a key role in improving the quality of life of many people with physical disabilities or health problems. We are committed to developing new devices, systems and products that encourage business activity in this sector.
DIGITAL AND HYPERCONNECTED WORLDWe continue to evolve towards an increasingly connected and interactive world. We are working in this context to give due response to the challenges of the Digital Economy and Cyber-Physical Systems.
LOW-CARBON ENERGY
URBAN HABITAT
We are committed to smart places and cities, because we believe in their potential for progress, their innovation catalyst role and their ability to become an economic development driver.
CLIMATE CHANGE AND SHORTAGE OF RESOURCESClimate change impacts are already a reality. We need to implement solutions and actions to minimise their effects: valorisation of waste and critical materials, emission reduction, circular economy, bioeconomy, etc.
Clean technologies and renewable energy play a key role in advancing towards a more sustainable and efficient low-carbon society.
