The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted the 'breakthrough device' designation to CorTec's BCI system. This designation is awarded to innovative medical solutions for the effective treatment or diagnosis of serious diseases. The FDA program accelerates the development and evaluation of technologies, ensuring patients have quick access to vital therapies without compromising safety standards. The status is intended to facilitate the development and assessment of medical devices through priority and more interactive engagement with the FDA. It applies to the use of direct electrical stimulation of the cerebral cortex. The technology aims to restore motor functions in individuals with chronic motor impairments caused by stroke. CorTec's brain-computer interface device combines neural signal recording and adaptive stimulation in a closed-loop system. The platform is undergoing FDA-approved clinical trials at the University of Washington in Seattle. “This is the first clinical analysis of a fully implantable wireless BCI system for stroke rehabilitation in humans,” the announcement stated. Acute cerebrovascular accidents are a leading cause of acquired long-term disability in adults. Annually, approximately 9 million cases of ischemic stroke are recorded worldwide, with about 1.7 million in the US and Europe. More than 80% of patients suffer from upper limb dysfunctions, and approximately 50% remain permanently disabled. For patients with chronic stroke and moderate to severe motor impairments who have plateaued after traditional therapy, there is currently no approved implantable treatment. “Today, only a few BCI companies worldwide, including Neuralink, Synchron, and Blackrock Neurotech, have received the 'breakthrough device' status. This step is a significant milestone for CorTec and underscores the potential of our system to meet the substantial need for stroke rehabilitation,” stated the company's CEO, Frank Dezeure. He added that the system demonstrates signal stability for 500 days. Several BCI technologies from other companies offer the ability to communicate by controlling digital devices with thought. CorTec is developing a bidirectional solution with therapeutic neurostimulation for physical rehabilitation. This is a unique development with 'breakthrough device' status, the company emphasized. In addition to stroke recovery, the platform is being tested for epilepsy treatment. Work is also underway to expand the range of indications, including assistance with paralysis and depression. Previously, BCI user Galen Buckwalter learned to create music with the power of thought.

Fintech company Revolut has unveiled an AI assistant for retail clients, named AIR (AI by Revolut). The initial market is the United Kingdom, with plans to expand to other countries soon. Meet AIR.We’re rolling out gradually to UK customers first, with more countries launching soon. pic.twitter.com/nXRTdLheEn— Revolut (@Revolut) April 9, 2026 The solution encompasses a range of functions for everyday financial management: expense analysis and budget summaries; tracking the current status of investment portfolios; managing and cancelling subscriptions; blocking lost cards directly in chat; assisting with travel budget planning and purchasing Revolut eSIMs. AIR only accesses data that clients already see in their app: transactions, investments, and card details. No confidential user information is stored with third parties or used to train external neural networks. The firm has not disclosed which specific AI providers support the new tool. “We believe the era of endless tabs and menus is over,” said Julia Ponomareva, Head of Customer Experience and AI Products at Revolut. The company is entering a rapidly growing and competitive market for financial autonomous assistants. In March, a similar product based on Google Gemini was launched by the British neobank Starling Bank. Traditional banks — Barclays, NatWest, HSBC, and Lloyds — are also actively investing in partnerships with AI projects and developing their own technologies. Revolut has already established an AI division that is currently developing voice tools, personal assistants, and sales agents. AIR marks the first step in this direction. Back in 2024, the firm launched Revolut X — a crypto platform not linked to the app, focusing on experienced traders. In the same year, Revolut achieved a record $1.4 billion profit thanks to digital assets.
