Revolutionizing Prosthetics: The Story of Jesse Sullivan

Sullivan, a double amputee, is regaining control of his physical world with a new prosthetic limb. This limb, developed through neural engineering, connects his brain to a robotic arm via rewired nerves. The technology, though promising for amputees and those with spinal cord injuries, is expensive and not yet available on the market. Doctors have rerouted Sullivan's arm nerves to his chest, allowing him to control the prosthetic by thought. The bionic arm is expected to be available in five years or more.
