Synchron Stentrode
The Synchron Stentrode is an endovascular brain-computer interface implant that does not require open-brain surgery.
The verified answer
As of Aug 2026, DEPLOY verifies Synchron Stentrode, a wearable by Synchron (pilot): 5 verified deployments on record. 1 source back the record.
Overview
The Synchron Stentrode is an endovascular brain-computer interface implant that does not require open-brain surgery. Implanted via the jugular vein, it detects brain signals to enable patients with severe paralysis (ALS) to communicate via thought. The Stentrode has been tested in COMMAND (US) and SWITCH (Australia) clinical trials with no serious device-related adverse events.
