ELVIS V
Electronic Vision of the Future
Our implants can enable you to see the world around you with new electronic vision. The unique ELVIS V technology interacts with the areas of the brain responsible for visual functions. They are able to process visual information and transmit it to the brain so that the user can see large objects and navigate in space.
PRINCIPLE OF WORK
Implant with microchip
It is inserted into the human brain and stimulates the visual cortex with weak currents. It is attached to the skull.
The microcomputer processes the image from the camera using intelligent algorithms. The device is hung on the belt and connected to the hoop with a wire.
Processing unit
Placed on a person's head.

Current stage of the project
Since 2022, we have been conducting preclinical tests of ELVIS V electronics on monkeys. Information about the results can be found on the ELVIS blog. After the preclinical tests are completed, the project team will begin preparations for the first studies with blind volunteers, which will start no earlier than 2026.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ELVIS V is a neuroimplant designed to restore vision to total blind people by linking external sensors that replace the eyes to an implant that stimulates the visual cortex.
ELVIS V consists of a wearable and an implantable part. The wearable part analyses the environment with special sensors, processes this information and transforms it into a signal that is transmitted wirelessly to the implant. The implant has a coil to receive power and information, a unit with microelectronics and an electrode in the form of a thin film, which the surgeon places on the surface of the brain. Using the electrode, neurons are activated and the person experiences visual sensations in the form of phosphenes. ELVIS V is a neural implant designed to restore sight to totally blind people by linking external sensors that replace the eyes with an implant that stimulates the visual cortex of the brain.
The ELVIS V neuroimplant is designed for people who are totally blind, who have had visual loss, i.e. who are not blind from birth. Before the device is installed, it is necessary to undergo a medical examination and receive approval from qualified specialists. ELVIS V is a neuroimplant designed to restore sight to totally blind people by linking external sensors that replace the eyes with an implant that stimulates the visual cortex of the brain.
The current age range for the ELVIS V implant is 18 to 50, but this will change over time.ELVIS V is a neural implant designed to restore vision to total blind people by linking external sensors that replace the eyes to an implant that stimulates the visual cortex of the brain.
After implantation, patients undergo a rehabilitation course, which may last 6 months and include activities to teach the new ‘vision’ from simple to complex. The duration of the rehabilitation period depends on the individual characteristics of the patient. ELVIS V is a neuroimplant designed to restore vision to total blind people by linking external sensors that replace the eyes with an implant that stimulates the visual cortex of the brain.
Yes, in certain cases, if the patient decides to discontinue use of the implant or if serious medical problems arise, removal surgery may be performed. This decision should be made in conjunction with the treating physician.
