Limited & inefficient communication

Both end-user and their family/friends/caregivers feel frustrated and leave them socially isolated. 

02

Lack of independence

Heavily rely on family and caregivers to perform even basic tasks 

03

no suitable, out-dated & expensive

Approach

who is it for

Gustavo is an 18 years old Chilean boy with Cerebral Palsy. Because of his condition, he was never able to talk and move since birth. The only way he could communicate with his family was through blinking.

Like Gustavo, millions of people suffer from motor disabilities or disorders that affect their ability to connect with the world.

The difficulties in communication they suffer often lead to frustration, loss of independence, and social isolation.
