Digital solution for users with unmet needs.

Paired with a wearable or implant, UCANACT unlocks full control of digital devices.

Intent to Action and Beyond

Autonomy

Our mission is to empower individuals with motor disabilities to reclaim their independence, control personal devices, and reconnect with family and loved ones.

Participation

We envision a world where any individual regardless of their health condition can fully participate in society and actively engage with the world around them.

Positive impact

By enabling this autonomy, we not only transform the lives of these individuals but also positively impact their families and caregivers.
