OcuSpeak: Streamlining communication for patients with ALS

Program:

Electrical and Computer Engineering

Project Description:

OcuSpeak seeks to address communication challenges for individuals with neurological conditions. ALS patients rely on slow, labor-intensive eye-based communication methods which limits their ability to speak at only 5 wpm as opposed to typical conversational speeds of 150 wpm. We aim to enhance efficiency of communication through a 4-pronged approach: predictive text enhancement, personalized communication, auditory input/output, and swipe-to-text eye control.
