Empowering Singapore's elderly to reclaim their independence through thought-controlled technology
In Singapore, 500,000+ elderly citizens need daily assistance, and by 2026, our nation will be super-aged. We watched our grandparents lose control over the simplest aspects of their daily lives - waiting 20 minutes just to adjust their bed position, their eyes filled with frustration and hopelessness. No one should have to feel that way.
Neural Assist is a neuro headband that translates brain signals into actions, allowing elderly users to control their environment using thought and blinks. No voice commands when your throat is dry. No buttons to fumble with arthritic hands. Just think, and it happens.
- Control lights, air conditioning, TV, and smart home devices
- Focus on visual cues to activate commands
- Add new actions easily through the dashboard
- Double-blink activation for immediate caregiver alerts
- Real-time response with sub-second latency
- Works with 600+ existing smart devices
- No need to buy special "compatible" equipment
- Your grandmother can control her existing TV
While competitors require extensive training and cost $25,000+, Neural Assist works in 10 seconds. An 82-year-old grandmother can control her room immediately.
We're the only brain-computer interface designed specifically for Singapore's super-aged society. No 6-month shipping delays or foreign customer service. We understand HDB layouts and speak Singlish.
Unlike Neurostyle, Emotiv, and Tobii's proprietary systems, our open API integrates with existing devices. No vendor lock-in.
- Single forehead electrode detects both EOG (eye blinks) and EEG (brain focus signals)
- Modified ADS620 amplifier module for clean signal detection
- Custom Fast Fourier Transform algorithm for signal processing
- Machine learning algorithms distinguish intentional commands from background noise
- 6 different signal types detected: clean EEG, eye blinks, eye movement, muscle activity, pulse, and line noise
- ESP32-C6 Board for processing and BLE transmission
- Haptic feedback for user confirmation
- Sub-second latency through BLE connectivity
- Blink to navigate through communication cards
