About Us
OpenNerve is developed by the Center for Autonomic Nerve Recording and Stimulation Systems (CARSS), which is funded under the National Institutes of Health (NIH) SPARC award #1U41NS129514-01. CARSS currently has three member institutions, each of which contributes different components to OpenNerve.
- Med-Ally LLC contributes the IPG enclosure and standard leads, as well as their knowledge of QMS and GMP manufacturing
- Medipace Inc. contributes the IPG’s PCB, firmware, and control software, as well as manufacturing and distributing development boards
- The University of Southern California (USC) contributes advanced sensing and stimulation leads, including a thin-film cuff for sub-mm nerves, physical sensors for strain and temperature, and chemical sensors for pH and neurotransmitters.
