Avancé Announces Formation of Avancé Bionic, Advancing the Future of Human Performance Through Biophysical and Robotic Innovation
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Charleston, South Carolina — June 22, 2026 — Avancé today announced the creation of Avancé Bionic, a new division dedicated to pioneering the next generation of biophysical, robotic, and intelligent assistive technologies designed to enhance the lives of individuals living with physical limitations and mobility challenges.
Avancé Bionic will operate under the leadership of James W., President of Avancé Surgical, and will focus on long-term research, development, strategic partnerships, and commercialization efforts aimed at merging advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, neural interfaces, and human-centered engineering into transformative solutions for patients worldwide. The majority of the research will be in a new facility located location near our Austin TX Surgical center and Spa.
The division represents a significant step forward in Avancé’s vision of redefining healthcare through innovation and expanding the boundaries of what is possible in human performance, mobility, and independence.
“Throughout history, technology has helped mankind overcome physical barriers,” said Lawrence Best, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Avancé. “Avancé Bionic is being established to accelerate the convergence of robotics, intelligent systems, biophysical engineering, and future neural technologies to create life-changing solutions for individuals affected by injury, disease, aging, and physical disabilities. Our mission is simple: to restore capability, enhance independence, and improve quality of life for millions of people around the world.”
The newly formed division will initially focus on several strategic areas, including:
* Advanced robotic prosthetics and assistive devices * Intelligent mobility and rehabilitation technologies * Human-machine interface research * AI-powered adaptive support systems * Biophysical augmentation technologies * Future neural integration and brain-computer interface applications * Robotic exoskeletons and movement enhancement systems
Avancé Bionic will collaborate with leading researchers, physicians, engineers, technology companies, and academic institutions worldwide to accelerate the development of breakthrough technologies that bridge the gap between human capability and machine intelligence.
“While today’s focus remains on advancing surgical excellence, we believe the future of healthcare extends beyond treatment and into restoration, augmentation, and human empowerment,” said **James W., President of Avancé Surgical**. “Avancé Bionic will serve as the innovation engine dedicated to exploring and developing technologies that have the potential to fundamentally improve how people live, move, work, and interact with the world.”
The creation of Avancé Bionic aligns with Avancé’s broader vision of building the world’s most advanced healthcare ecosystem, encompassing robotic surgery, artificial intelligence, autonomous healthcare systems, wellness innovation, and next-generation human performance technologies.
Research activities are expected to commence immediately, with the division establishing strategic development initiatives across North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
