I'm consulting with an Australian group called Control Bionics. They have a US company & office, with CTO and sales team in Ohio, but software engineering is done in AU. Their primary product is an electromyography and accelerometer hardware device to detect muscle activations or movements, and then most commonly used as a mouse-click substitute in conjunction with third-party eye-gaze hardware proving the cursor. (I've also designed them an autonomous wheelchair module, but that's another story...)

@pg - If your friend has not tried adding a mouse-click via something they can activate other than eye-gaze, this would be worth a shot. We have a lot of MND patients who use our combination to great success. If they can twitch an eyebrow, wiggle a toe or a finger, or even flex their abdomen, we can put electrodes there and give them a way forward.

Also, my contact details are in my profile. I'd be happy to put you in touch with our CEO and I'm confident that offers of funding would be of interest. The company is listed on the Australian stock exchange, but could likely go much further with a direct injection of capital to bolster the engineering team.

Cheers, Tom
