The most well-known communication technology for people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ALS, is eye gaze. The reality is that less than 10% of people with ALS use it.

We seek to create wearable sensors that enable people to effortlessly control mobile phones, tablets and wheelchairs
Today is the official launch of Newport Storm's newest beer foRIster! Come join us at the brewery to celebrate it's launch tonight starting at 5:30pm!
Wow! I am so incredibly proud of Team What About Bobby! This past weekend these guys and gals ( plus a few not pictured) participated in ALS TDI's Tri State Trek, a 3 day 270 mile charity bike ride from Boston to New York. This team is absolutely awe inspiring to complete this ridiculous ride! We are talking about a rough course, with some insane hills and heat. I am so proud of each and every one of you and am honored to call you my friends and family! I can't wait until next year!
