Project eyeCan

AbleData does not produce, distribute or sell any of the products listed on this website, but we provide you with information on how to contact manufacturers or distributors of these products. If you are interested in purchasing a product, you can find companies who sell it below.

Project eyeCan is designed to improve the quality of life for those with from Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) and Lock in syndrome (LIS). It is an open-source platform that is not currently  for sale. The eyeCan project team is providing only the technology. Our hope is that this technology can spread to reach people in need. We’re currently building an ecosystem in South Korea. One of the Korean government institutes has agreed to distribute eyeCans across South Korea. This institute will build the eyeCans and install them for more than 200 patients in 2012. With this small step, the scale of distribution will keep increasing. The eyeCan project team will be happy to support building an ecosystem in other countries by sharing our knowledge and know-hows.
