영문 초록

  A communication device for seriously disabled people with slight movement capabilities is proposed. This device has been developed mainly for patients suffering from ALS or a cerebral infarction. They often have communication difficulties due to the disorders of muscular functions. The key features of this device are; it is wearable, and it detects the eyebrow movements. These features lead to convenient installation of sensor on the patient"s body, unlike the conventional systems. Adaptive communication software is also incorporated. A feature of this software is that the arrangement and size of the button and window on the display can be optimized depending on the user"s physical ability. In the field test, the proposed device has demonstrated its capability in helping seriously disabled people to improve their communication abilities.
