VERALL GOAL

MISSION

Irisbond supports people with disabilities and speech difficulties based on eye movement and machine vision

technology that enables computer control by looking. It is reliable , easy to use and competitive. Proper attention and

care required by people with disability often entails high costs, which many cannot afford. The product developed by

Irisbond can be considered to provide a "basic need. Irisbond saw a need to make the product accessible to as many

people as possible. This not only includes patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) but also other diseases that

limit the maximum mobility such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy. Therefore, this project had

the following objectives: • Implementation of new business models based on social innovation through the application

of technology. • Offer a competitive and high added value for the stakeholders in the world of disability. • Entering the

world of special education and labour inclusion.

HE SOLUTION THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED

IRISBOND PRIMMA is a system to control the computer with eye movements . A simple and intuitive interface allows

users to access any computer application under Windows accurately through eye movement, allowing any type of

function. The system is easy to install and simple to use, maintaining levels of management of the mouse. Those who

are disabled and have slurred speech (as affected by ALS, multiple sclerosis, paralysis or brain damage), can work it

through their eyes, they can access the usual functions of a computer such as surfing the internet, writing texts, send a

email or WhatsApp, listen to music, develop messages that can be displayed directly on the screen, print them or listen

by synthesized or digitized voice, watch a movie, among other possibilities. Working together with psychologists and

speech therapists is vital for the inclusion of those affected during childhood in the educational system, and later, as an

adult foster their inclusion in the labor market.
