For someone with a neurological condition that leaves them incapable of speech and voluntary movement, innovative technology like eye tracking allows them to express themselves and communicate with the world.
Giving Patients a Voice Through Eye Tracking
About four million people in the US face challenges with their ability to speak. At Montefiore Einstein, neurologists pioneered the use of eye tracking technology to transform communication with these patients. Previously perceived as having limited cognitive abilities, this technology has enabled them to express their thoughts and understanding, effectively revealing their hidden potential and giving them a voice.
When I first saw eye tracking, it was enchanting. In part because these kids are so misunderstood... almost like lost islands of internal thought. Seeing the level of joy that eye tracking brings out—and how it opens their world—is enchanting in a way few things are.
