At MEDICA Düsseldorf 2024, MindSpeaker presented an earlier communication prototype at the Belgian Pavilion and discussed its development with visitors. Thank you to Flanders Investment & Trade for hosting us and to everyone who shared feedback.
The components shown
- MindSpeaker: tablet-based message building and synthetic speech output, including a separate personalised-voice function.
- EyeNav: eye-based cursor navigation in the demonstrated configuration.
- MindClick: a wearable-signal selection controller. This is not free-form thought reading or direct sentence decoding.
Clarification — 10 September 2026: Earlier wording described effortless navigation and established independence for locked-in patients. A booth demonstration does not establish those outcomes. Suitability, reliability and usability in the intended patient population remain under evaluation.
Historical event highlights
The video records an earlier prototype and may show different hardware or functions from the current research programme. Its demonstrations and informal descriptions should not be interpreted as clinical validation.
