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)/ Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Spinal Cord Injury, Traumatic Brain Injury and Cerebral Palsy among others. 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 Electromyography (EMG) signals which are processed on personal computers, smartphones and tablets to generate text, text to speech, email and other computer-controlled functions. 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 produces the only system to harness three modalities – touch, eye movement and EMG 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 operates in North America, Australia, Singapore and Japan.
