Who We Help
A solution that changes as needs evolveFor people living with conditions such as ALS/MND, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Cerebral Palsy, and Spinal Cord Injury
Working with this patient population has driven Control Bionics to develop solutions, like the NeuroNode Trilogy, that aim to reduce user fatigue while increasing communication speed in a onetime-funded system that changes alongside the client’s needs.
One of our longest partners in the development of the NeuroNode, Michael Philips, used our system for control and communication for nearly a decade. While one of our youngest clients, Maeve Coffey, used our communication solution to ensure her voice could be heard in her New York classroom.
Traditional switches often require maximum effort, while more advanced eye tracking solutions can be problematic due to seating positions and muscle spasticity. To combat these issues, the latest NeuroNode development, Spatial Control, was designed specifically with these users in mind.
Our partnership with the Veteran’s Health Administration has allowed us to service those clients with TBI and SCI in the US; while our product suitability allows us to serve this patient population around the world.
Other conditions we’ve provided communication solutions for include Friedreich’s Ataxia, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Stroke, and Guillain-Barré Syndrome.
