Cognixion ONE intends to become the first FDA-approved device to help fully paralysed or locked-in patients communicate through a noninvasive brain-computer interface.
It is a brain-computer interface featuring augmented reality for assistive communication.
The device is capable of helping people with severe motor impairments communicate with other people more effectively and independently.
Leveraging electroencephalogram technology, it will offer a noninvasive brain-computer interface, thereby allowing patients with advanced disease progression to deliver their thoughts through a wearable, augmented reality headset.
