AAVAA: A brain-computer interface tech company that seeks to enable people to interact with devices through blinking, eye movement, and clenching. For example, the technology could help paralyzed users control their wheelchair, computer, smartphone and AAC devices without using hands or their voice.
Augmental developed a tongue-controlled interface it refers to as a “mouthpad”. The bluetooth-enabled tech allows users to control their devices such as a computer, smartphone, or tablet with their tongue. It is placed across the roof of the mouth. The mouthpad uses 3D printing, electronic encapsulation, and dental materials.
BeAware provides deaf assistance technology. Its deaf assistant app helps people who are deaf or hard of hearing to communicate with others through natural language processing tech and an interface that flips between the user and those with whom they communicate. The app can also read text out loud into the user’s live phone calls, assisted by customizable preset phrases. The app also provides customizable alerts of short or prolonged sounds around the user.
FRENZ Brainband is a tool to guide users through an optimized sleep cycle while tracking EEG brain signals. It also tracks electrooculogram (EOG) signals, the signals calculated by measuring the corneo-retinal standing potential between the front and the back of the human eye, SpO2, heart rate, and more. Users review their sleep data to gain insights into sleep trends over time and make adjustments, according to the company’s website.
