Gain Independence with Tecla, an Assistive Device.
Giving individuals with physical disabilities the ability to communicate, control, and connect with the world.
Created by Komodo OpenLab.
Who is Tecla for?
Tecla is for anyone who can’t easily use a smartphone, tablet or computer. This includes those with limited upper-body mobility resulting from spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, ALS, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, brain injuries, or stroke.
How does Tecla Work?
Tecla allows an individual to interact with their iOS and Android devices, computers, and smart home systems, hands-free.
What does this Mean?
This means you can use Tecla and your smart devices anywhere you are. Use it from your wheelchair during the day, or from your bed at night. Tecla moves with you. Unlike other assistive devices that aren't portable, Tecla adapts to your environment.
