EyeFree Assistive Communication has developed EyeControl, an assistive communication device designed for ALS and other "locked-in" patients, including patients admitted into ICU departments which may be temporarily "locked-in" due to medical procedures or being connected to devices which don't enable communication. EyeControl is wearable, enabling 24/7 communication; affordable, so that any patient will have access to the device and simple to use, requiring dramatically lower training time than existing devices (as proven in a clinical trial). The device enables communication ranging from a call for help to a full conversation and it can be connected to other devices via Bluetooth. The user has the option to transmit a different language to the output speaker, allowing communication with a caregiver that may speak a different language.
