Fernando Alonso will make his McLaren return at this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix, subject to a successful FIA medical assessment on Thursday.
The Spaniard had a crash during Formula One's pre-season testing in Barcelona last month that saw him suffer concussion and memory loss.
Alonso was subsequently forced to miss the opening race of the 2015 calendar in Australia.
However, he is set to be on the grid for race two at the Sepang International Circuit - where an additional sensor will be in place on his car in order to increase data capture.
A statement from McLaren read: "McLaren-Honda is pleased to announce that, subject to a successful final FIA medical assessment this Thursday 26 March at the Sepang International Circuit, Fernando Alonso will return to the cockpit of his MP4-30 car for this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix.
"Since his Barcelona testing accident, Fernando has followed a rigorous, specialised training programme, designed and closely monitored by leading sports scientists, to ensure his safe and timely return to racing."
Alonso's accident caused confusion amid reports the Spaniard believed it was 1995 when he woke up, although McLaren subsequently denied those reports.
The Spaniard, who returned to McLaren for the new campaign after a five-season spell at Ferrari, was replaced by Kevin Magnussen in Melbourne, although the Dane failed to start after his Honda engine suffered a fault en route to the grid.
Two-time world champion Alonso met with his engineers to discuss the accident and adjustments have since been made to his car.
The statement added: "At the McLaren Technology Centre last week, Fernando met with his engineers and drove the simulator, to bring him up to date with the latest developments on the MP4-30 chassis and power unit. As part of that process he spent time with senior engineers, discussing the accident and reviewing the comprehensive data and analysis, all of which has been shared with the FIA.
"While there was nothing evident in the extensive car telemetry data, nor anything abnormal in the subsequent reconstructions and laboratory tests, Fernando recalls a sense of ‘heavy’ steering prior to the accident. Consequently, the team has fitted an additional sensor to the car, to increase our data capture.
"Fernando is very much looking forward to getting back into the car and making a substantial contribution to our collective efforts with Honda, to accelerate the required improvement to our on-track performance."
