This document discusses interactive implants and wearable technology being developed by UEGroup. It describes their work developing brain-computer interfaces, neuroprosthetics, and other implantable devices. Key findings from their research include that effectiveness is the top priority for doctors, patients want simplicity and don't want to stand out, and power remains a major challenge. The document also discusses realities such as risks of medical procedures and long-term impacts, as well as implications for future injectable, soft materials and kinetic power sources.
