Phosphoenix
Phosphoenix is a pioneering MedTech start-up, with a mission to restore functional and life-enhancing vision to blind individuals without a functional retina or optic nerve. Our visual prosthesis bypasses the eyes and interfaces directly with the brain. A spin-off from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN), Phosphoenix leverages decades of neuroscientific research on visual perception and vision restoration. Previously, by stimulating multiple electrodes, we demonstrated the production of artificially generated images in ground-breaking pre-clinical work, published in the top academic journal, Science (Chen et al, 2020).
Restoring vision
Phosphoenix leverages revolutionary breakthroughs in electrode design and microelectronics to develop transformative implant technology, bringing a cure for blindness within reach. Our technology uses high-density, ultra-flexible probes to stimulate the brain and provide functional, life-enhancing vision throughout the visual field.
Impact
We seek visionary investors to join our next funding round
We successfully raised pre-seed financing from top-tier investors in Q3 2022 and are actively fundraising for our next round.
