Minimal Movement Detection for Communication

The Challenge

Individuals in palliative care or near end of life may retain only the smallest movements - an eyelid blink, a slight twitch, minimal muscle control. They need a way to communicate basic needs and maintain connection with loved ones.

AI Models & Capabilities

Minimal Movement Detection

AI detects the smallest movements including eyelid blinks, eyebrow twitches, and subtle facial muscle movements.

Impact: Enables communication for those with almost no voluntary movement.

Morse Code Communication

Simple binary signals (blink/no blink) are interpreted as Morse code for essential messages like "Toilet," "Pillow," "Pain."

Impact: Restores basic communication for critical care needs.

Customizable Signal Mapping

Caregivers can configure specific signals for common needs, adapting to the individual's retained movements.

Impact: Personalised communication system that works with whatever movement remains.

Case Utility: Dignity in End-of-Life Care

A patient in hospice care can signal basic needs to caregivers - requesting repositioning, indicating pain levels, or simply acknowledging family presence. This maintains dignity and reduces distress for both patient and loved ones.

AI detects the smallest movements (eyelid, twitch) for Near End of Life signaling (Morse code for "Toilet," "Pillow," etc.).

Available by Request
