Our soul
Thanks to the development of new software and hi-tech devices we aim, with our engagement, to helping people with severe disabilities, their families and caregivers to improve the quality of life. Our Research and Development Team is constantly working to develop flexible and tailored solutions to respond to the specific demands of each patient. We believe that people are more important than technology and that through the correct use of technology we can help those affected by severe disabilities and illnesses to regain confidence in life and build a connection with the world. These are the engines of our daily work. The most sophisticated technological solutions acquire a distinguished and unique meaning when conceived according to the needs of the single human being, which is always an individual with his/her own experiences and history.
Who do we care for
Over 5,000,000 people in the world are suffering from paralysis and communication limits with sufficiently intact cognitive abilities: BrainControl has been conceived and realised to provide them with a concrete support. We talk to families and caregivers with patients suffering from pathologies such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and ischemic or traumatic tetraplegia.
For most of these people communicating is a complicated action, sometimes difficult or almost impossible to achieve. Moving a finger, an eyelid or an eye is an insurmountable obstacle; interacting with the outside world is frustrating because, notwithstanding the brain activity, the patient is unable to transmit and translate his/her feelings, thoughts and wishes. BrainControl makes it possible to overcome these obstacles and help people suffering from serious illnesses to improve the quality of their life and their families.
However, we do not address only people suffering from these kinds of disease. In addition to patients, families and caregivers we address institutions, foundations, museums and exhibition spaces to introduce BrainControl Avatar, our hi-tech solution which allows to experience from remote the visit of an exhibition and promote the chances of social interaction for the patients. Led from remote by the patient, the avatar moves in the real spaces, thus recreating an immersive and enthralling social and cultural experience.
