EyeComTec - assisting technology for people with complex communication needs

We are EyeComTec (a division of LAZgroup SA) – a group of developers creating assistive software.

Our mission is to create efficient and readily-available solutions in the field of augmentative and alternative communication technologies.

EyeComTec software products are intended for mobility impairment sufferers, or those who are afflicted with serious motor loss.

All programs developed in our company allow people with significantly limited mobility to communicate (type texts) and control computers by using any available and retained physical activity:

pressing buttons, levers, and pedals using any powerful muscle group
performing visual manipulations through mimics and eye movements
producing vocal sounds or other noises.

We are dedicated to making all our technologies easily available to anyone who has a need. After analyzing the field of software and AAC-hardware for those who suffer from full or partial paralysis, we discovered two main problems:

The majority of devices and software solutions are sold at an incredibly high price. Those who have limited motor activity, and their families, simply don’t have enough money to buy and use this type of software.
Hardware is the biggest part of these solutions available on the market, and so immediate purchase and operation of the software can often be difficult. It is hard to find the right hardware equipment that can successfully aid sufferers of physical impairment, even in large cities, while postal delivery can take up to several weeks after completing an online order.

That’s why our main goal is to eradicate this situation for those who need it most. At EyeComTec, we strive to make assistive software solutions affordable, immediate, and easily available for everyone.

The concept of EyeComTec is uniquely different compared to the majority of solutions available on the market today. All assistive communication technologies and other input interfaces developed by our company are 100% software. This guarantees that our products can be easily obtained from anywhere in the world, and can be safely used on any computer – even laptops.

We have developed a wide range of assistive technology software solutions, optimized so they can used on affordable low-end specification computers or netbooks with built-in web-cameras. This means all you need to get started with the software is a reliable device you feel comfortable using.

Software products from our company can be easily used by those with various physical limitations or diseases, such as:

various forms of paralysis, including infant cerebral palsy
degenerative diseases of the central nervous system, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
tumors and other brain and spinal cord lesions
consequences of a recent heart attack or a stroke
nerve compression syndrome of the spinal cord
multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barré syndrome
locomotor system dysfunction
muscle atrophy
uncontrolled muscle activity (tremors, tics, myoclonus and muscle dystonia)
recent traumas or accidents resulting in full or partial loss of motor activity.

EyeComTec is currently one of the leaders in the field of software development for the paralyzed and physically impaired. We never stop our active work in this field, and we always seek to improve and develop our innovative solutions. Our company brings assistive technologies to a completely new level of development, making them easily available and affordable for those who really need them.
