This podcast's purpose is to bring together the field of neuroprosthetics/brain machine interfaces/brain implants in an understandable conversation about the current topics and breakthroughs.

We hope to replace needing to read scientific papers on new research in an easy to digest way.

People can share thoughts or ideas to facilitate 'idea sex' to make the field of brain implants a smaller and more personal space.

Omari Bouknight - Resonant Link Medical and the Next Generation of Wirelessly Powered Neurotech

Apr 13, 2026

In this episode of the Neural Implant Podcast, host Dr. Ladan Jiracek sits down with Omari Bouknight, CEO of Resonant Link Medical, to explore how advances in wireless power transfer are reshaping the future of implantable medical devices. Omari shares how traditional power limitations have historically constrained device design—and how Resonant Link Medical’s technology is turning power into an enabler, allowing for smaller, smarter, and longer-lasting implants. The conversation dives into real-world applications across neurotech and beyond, including how faster, more efficient wireless charging could unlock advanced closed-loop therapies, high-data-rate neural systems, and more fully implantable devices

Top 3 Takeaways:

  • Resonant Link Medical’s key breakthrough is highly efficient and flexible wireless power: their multi-layer self-resonant structure (MSRS) coil technology enables high-efficiency wireless energy transfer with minimal heat generation, and innovations in power electronics and data transfer support highly adaptive systems with high tolerance to misalignment. This solves two major historical barriers to implantable wireless charging, allowing patients to quickly and easily recharge devices during normal daily activity.
  • Wireless power works deeper in the body and tolerates real-world movement: Resonant Link Medical’s system can deliver power at depths up to ~6 cm (and potentially more) while allowing several centimeters of lateral misalignment and angular tilt. This enables reliable charging even with normal body motion and imperfect alignment at up to 15 W of power.
  • Wireless power is becoming a foundational enabler across implantable devices, ranging from brain-computer-interfaces (BCIs) and spinal cord stimulators to peripheral nerve, sleep apnea, and even cardiac and orthopedic implants. Resonant Link Medical’s platform technology is helping unlock closed-loop therapies, new targets, and smarter devices—and the field of active implantables is still only at the very beginning of its potential.
