Russian Scientists Develop Prostheses with Augmented Reality and Biocompatible Microelectrodes

Technologies help eliminate phantom pain and accelerate adaptation to prostheses

Russian scientists are developing prostheses using augmented reality technologies and biocompatible microelectrodes. This was announced by the head of the Federal Medical-Biological Agency (FMBA), Veronika Skvortsova, at the EEF-2025.

The first direction of development is related to the creation of microelectrodes that can be implanted into the endings of sensitive and motor peripheral nerves. This allows eliminating phantom pain and normalizing the conduction of nerve impulses.

The second direction uses virtual and augmented reality. Patients with limb remnants train in a virtual environment, correctly tensing various muscle groups. Thanks to this, after putting on the prosthesis, it is easier for them to perform familiar movements. Skvortsova emphasized that this approach increases the convenience and efficiency of using prostheses.
