Case Study: Dylan achieves greater independence and communication with Smartbox Grid

Dylan gives a graduation speech in 2019 with Smartbox Grid 3

Dylan, a man living with ALS in an adult care home, faced the progressive loss of his muscle control and ability to communicate. His challenge was to find a way to maintain his independence and continue his passions after his diagnosis forced him to withdraw from his studies. Smartbox provided a solution using Grid 3 software paired with an eye gaze camera.

The solution from Smartbox enabled Dylan to control his environment and communicate effectively using eye gaze technology. This allowed him to complete his studies part-time, earn two honorary doctorate degrees, and deliver a speech at his graduation. He now maintains a blog and continues to write poetry, using the Smartbox technology to lead a fulfilling life and advocate for ALS awareness.
