NEUROSTRIP
----- End of picture text -----
==> picture [226 x 225] intentionally omitted <==
One of the first prototype systems in the NeuroEDUCATOR series was developed 20 years ago with feedback from Stephen Hawking who trialled our technology for m any years.
A wireless, wearable NeuroNode was first launched in 2017. Using our IP, EMG assists disabled people in accessing technology for the world’s best com m unication experience.
Just launched in 2023, the NeuroStrip weighs less than a piece of paper and is a m iniature version of our core IP. It’s our m ain lever for growth with unlim ited uses beyond disability.

Our patented code
creates a “switch”
to operate devices
----- End of picture text -----
==> picture [235 x 196] intentionally omitted <==
Your brain sends a thought like “m ove m y index finger”.
To m ove your finger, an electrical signal is created and Electrom yography (EMG) is the detection of this signal.
Our core IP uses smart
algorithm s to detect, analyse and convert your body’s bioelectrical EMG into code so a user can select an item and operate a device.
Users can type, generate speech, send em ails, browse the web, stream entertainm ent, access social apps, control their environm ent (lights, electric beds), play with toys, and m ore.

FINANCIALS
Continue to focus on growth, diversification and innovation
-
Goal: Achieve near-term EBITDA-positive operations in all key geographic markets for our primary disability business.
-
Plan for FY25: Diversify into new products and markets to drive additional growth.
-
Diversifying with NeuroStrip outside the disability markets helps reduce reliance on slow and unpredictable insurance payment cycles.
-
Further manage these risks by wholesaling our DROVE wheelchair controller, NeuroNode and NeuroStrip products in relevant markets.
