The most common causes of paralysis include: Stroke Spinal cord injury, Head injury, Multiple sclerosis. Some other causes include Peripheral neuropathy, Toxins/poisons, ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).In Unparalyze, patient's intentional eye blink and eye movements are captured, recorded and processed to convert this into commands for performing various tasks by the patient. The conclusive purpose is to render patients a certain independency thus allowing them to do important actions without any supervision. Unparalyze helps the patients to consume medicine, water and food. It provides access to fan, light, and TV and AC remote control. There is provision for emergency phone call.
