PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Focus is on mentally able but physically disabled individuals, e.g. from meningitis, ALS etc., who are completely dependant on support, leaving them locked inside their body. The project focusses on one such pilot case to empower such individuals. We have successfully provided an eye tracking device that connects to a PC/laptop and enables the person to type based on eye gaze tracking, thus enabling and opening up a world of communication, an opportunity to learn, connect via social media and integrate into society. We are looking to expand our project to include more such individuals and create more awareness. We need support at the local and virtual level. Volunteers need not have all the required skill sets, but have the willingness, drive and committment to make a difference.
Project Objectives
- IT solutions to enable mentally capable but physically disabled (quadriplegic) people to integrate into society
- Strategic planning and consulting for expanding the project
- Communication strategies for spreading awareness
