Tech Helps Paralyzed Patients Operate Laptop with Their Eyes
From: Medcial Design Technology - 04/07/2016

A Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health rehabilitation specialist and
a technology expert teamed up to create an innovative device that gives
patients with tetraplegia the ability to use a laptop with just their eyes.

The VCU team designed a mobile cart with an extendable arm that holds a
laptop. The wheels of the device slide under a patient's bed, and the arm
extends and positions the laptop above a patient's hospital bed. Placed just
above the laptop's keyboard is a Tobii, a thin, eye-gazer device that uses
infrared technology to perform the same function as a computer's mouse. The
patient uses their eyes to select mouse functions and perform keyboard
strokes.
