MMS

The MMS (Minimal Movement Switch) is a switch that can be activated with minimally small movements. Communicating and alerting becomes possible, even when this is thought impossible by everyone!

The movement can be made by blinking your eyes, pulling your eyebrow or cheek, the breathing tube or the like. People with ALS bulbar form can often move their feet for a long time. The MMS can also be operated with this. The camera detects movement of a body part on which a marking sticker has been placed. In the event of a movement of the body part, this is signalled by the MMS and transmitted to the device to be operated. For other types of MMS use check out MMS-Sound and MMS-FaceMe.

Alarm: The MMS can be connected to the wireless or wired alarm system of your home, a hospital, institution or hospice. In this way, people who cannot operate a regular (alarm) button can still raise the alarm. Especially people with Locked-In Syndrome and people with ALS are already making grateful use of this.

Communication: The MMS has been proving its function for years with a small number of people with Locked-In Syndrome, but has now also been made suitable for anyone with, for example, ALS, MS or another disease that makes movement difficult. The MMS can be used to control a communication tool and thus letters can be written or icons can be selected. For example, the MMS can also be used in combination with our SIDE program.
