RE:HSM story/product is similiar to Wicab brainport storyThere are 2 different brainport devices.
1) The first device is Brainport Vision. This device is used as a visual aid and sends electrical impluses to the tongue to help blind people see. The vision device received FDA approval in 2015.
2) The second device is Brainport Balance. This device is simular to the PONS in that it sends electrical impulses to the tongue to help improve balance and gait. It is my understanding that FDA rejected this device; and therefore, not avalible for sale in the USA. Brainport Balance can only be purchased in Canada and Europe. Since this device was approved in Europe, I'm speculating that PONS will also have a good chance of receiving approval in the European Union. However, it is concerning that FDA declined both the PONS and the Brainport Balance. I am unable to find the reason why the Brainport Balance device was rejected by the FDA. Can someone shed some light on this?
