PL BCI Roadmap Series: Roadmap 1 — Smoothing the Path to Clinical Revenue

PL Neuro Team

The first roadmap in Protocol Labs' Brain–Computer Interface Roadmap Series.

Building on the series overview, this report focuses on smoothing the path to clinical revenue for brain–computer interfaces: the reimbursement, regulatory, and go-to-market steps that determine whether breakthrough devices can reach patients at scale and sustain the businesses building them. It maps the near-term levers that could accelerate BCI from clinical studies to durable clinical revenue.

The report was authored by David A. Markowitz, Juan Benet, Jacques Carolan, Eli Dourado, Thomas Kalil, Amy Kruse, Adam Marblestone, Patrick Mineault, Joanne Peng, Joshua Rosenow, and Sean Escola, and published on Zenodo in March 2026 (CC BY 4.0).
