The Eyegaze Communication System is an FDA-approved communication and control system for people with complex physical disabilities. The system is operated entirely with the eyes. By looking at control keys displayed on a screen, a person can synthesize speech, control his environment (lights, call bells, etc.), type, run computer software, operate a computer mouse, and access the Internet and e-mail. Eyegaze Systems are being used to write books, attend school and enhance the quality of life of people with disabilities all over the world.

System name(s): The Eyegaze Communication System, Eyegaze Edge and Eyegaze Edge Tablet

Who can use the system
Target users Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Brain injuries, Cerebral palsy (CP), Multiple sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Werdnig-Hoffman syndrome, Rett syndrome, Spinal Cord Injuries, Strokes (brainstem, Locked-in syndrome)
What is required from the user Good control of at least one eye. Adequate vision. Ability to maintain a position in front of the Eyegaze monitor. Some reading or word recognition skill. For detailed description, see http://www.eyegaze.com/2Products/Disability/Medicaldata.html
