SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Cognixion has announced the release of the Expression Eye speech-generating device in conjunction with Lincare AAC. The device combines the power of advanced facial recognition and eye tracking technology in the Speakprose app, allowing people to quickly express communication hands free. “COVID-19 has raised awareness worldwide for the need to communicate with doctors and family when you are on respiratory therapy-a respirator or ventilator,” Cognixion stated in a press release. Cognixion and Lincare AAC are making the solution available nationwide. Cognixion is also working with several medical facilities to increase access to expressive communication for intubated and ventilated patients related to COVID-19 using the Speakprose Pro+ version of the app, allowing patients to express personal messages, important medical concerns and advanced directives using their eyes and facial expressions to select phrases that are spoken aloud.
