I’m a market analyst, advisor, and creative strategist covering neurotechnology. I run NEUROTECH FUTURES, the industry’s go-to newsletter for operators, investors, and commercial leaders building the future of brain health. I also support ARPA-H, NIH, NIA and the FDA’s iBCI-CC.

Tabi Haly is a victim of her own success: She got so good at living and working with a disability that the government took away her healthcare.is crystal clear in summing up the state of the US disability care market: Broken but navigable by some, but dehumanizingly backwards when it comes to policy and payment.

A web search suggests people in Haly’s role earn in the low six-figures, which would normally disqualify her from being eligible for Medicaid. But as a disabled person, Haly gains eligibility for Medicaid through an obscure program called Supplemental Security Income, or SSI. It’s about untapped innovation markets that could emerge from common-sense reforms. “Value” generated from the economic web of treatment, technology, and human care is an umbrella concepts, covering how well people with disabilities can live, work, study, and otherwise exist in their day-to-day lives.

If BCI enables someone to generate a six figure salary by performing the responsibilities of a desk job, does that mean the BCI’s pricetag should go up, because it creates economic value for companies and workers? Or, should pricing be insulated from economic value generation, given the moral hazards of disenrolling disabled people from health insurance for earning too much?

Bringing it back to today: If we’re promoting “productivity,” we need to talk about the fine print. To be fair, the conversation around working, eligibility, and disability areIf BCI could soon grant the wishes of disabled people who want to work, what else needs to be done, and can be done, to support these individuals at a system level?Earlier this year, I jokingly asked a commercial officer at a leading BCI startup for an example of a half-baked idea in neurotech.
