Timeline of Progress
Since its founding in 1985, the Alfred Mann Foundation has developed a record of success in commercializing its technology.
Our Research
Movement disorders, diabetes, limb loss and pain are all critical problems patients face today. The Alfred Mann Foundation’s goal is to develop medical devices to help patients who have few medical options and advance that technology to the marketplace.
Publications
The AMF encourages the dissemination of its research results to scientific, engineering and medical communities in the form of publications and presentations at scientific meetings.
Patents
Innovation and invention are the life blood of AMF. When our scientists discover novel technology, inventions are documented and reviewed internally by a multi-disciplinary group representing science, legal, operational, clinical and regulatory groups.
