Onward Medical is betting big on neurostimulation as a tool to improve the quality of life for people with paralysis, said CEO Dave Marver.

Bullish after recent clinical success, Marver spoke about the Swiss-Dutch company’s future plans at the 2024 STAT Summit in Boston, including a device that can better regulate an underactive bladder.

“We’re doing it because it seems to work, and thus far, there’s been a lot of promising early feasibility clinical research,” he said. “We’re going to keep moving everything to the pipeline, doing larger studies and demonstrating the efficacy and safety of these devices as we move towards commercialization.”
