About Control Bionics:
Control Bionics is a medical device company assisting patients whose ability to communicate verbally or via text and social media is compromised by illnesses such as Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Our core patented NeuroNode technology is a wireless wearable device that detects minute signals sent from the brain to any skeletal muscle and is captured as EMG (Electromyography) output. This output is then sent wirelessly via the NeuroNode to a personal computer, enabling speech and other computer controlled functions like email and texting. Our technology is integrated with eye gaze technology whereby the eye gaze enables a cursor to be moved about a computer screen, driven much like a mouse, and the NeuroNode acts as like the mouse button. Control Bionics is the only such product to harness three modalities – touch, eye and NeuroNode control – which combined yield unique benefits in terms of the ability of patients to express themselves with significantly faster speed and less fatigue.
Control Bionics recently extended its offering to mobility with the launch of DROVE – the autonomous wheelchair module. DROVE allows powered users the independence to operate their wheelchairs in their own homes for the first time.
Control Bionics is currently commercialising its most recent advancement in its technology, the NeuroStrip ® . This wearable, miniaturised EMG device provides the business with the opportunity to enter new markets such as health diagnostics, sports performance and rehabilitation to name only a few potential markets.
Control Bionics operates in North America, Australia, Singapore and Japan.
