Innovative interfaces for people who have severe difficulty speaking or moving
Cyin makes it possible to perform arbitrary operations of various communication and environmental control devices, such as simple "yes / no" intention display, arbitrary text input using timed triggers, and nurse calls.

Innovative interfaces for people who have severe difficulty speaking or moving
Cyin for Living Support is a novel interface that utilizes biological information that can be controlled voluntarily outside of muscle activities. Even for an user with severe disabilities who has difficulties speaking or writing can communicate and operate other devices without having to speak or physically moving their body.
Cyin for Living Support reads faint bio-electrical signals sent from the user’s brain to the muscles through the nerves when the user intends to move the body.
The device makes it possible for people who cannot move their own body at all due to progression of their disease or who have difficulty operating equipment through muscle activities (blink, breath, etc.) to communicate by manifestation of yes or no, or by writing a text, etc.) or to operate various environmental control equipment such as a nurse call.
Cyin for Living Support uses a sensor attached to the skin surface to detect bio-electrical signals as “motor unit potential”. When the detected potential exceeds a preset threshold, it is used as an input signal. Signal detection varies from person to person and is not guaranteed to be usable by everyone.
Flexibly connected to input equipments such as sensors or output equipments already owned by the patient such as computers
Palm-size and light. Cyin can be carried and used outside. The battery could be charged wirelessly
Faint bio-electric signals are only requirements for the patients
Flexible connection to external devices
As a “communication device for severely disabled persons” the main unit of Cyin for Living Support can be used as a device to manifest yes or no using biological information. The device can also be connected to various other devices such as PC, tablets and other communication devices. For example, when combined with a voice-to-speech output device, the user can communicate with their eyes closed.
Quick and easy setting with touch panel
Cyin for Living Support aims to reduce the burden of those who support the user to put-on the device.
After attaching the sensor and connecting the equipment to be combined, set the level and threshold with the touch panel while checking the sensor signal, and press the output button. This would complete the preparation.
The device is easy to operate even for first-time users.
8-channel I/O to expand the range of uses
The bio-electrical signals required to control Cyin for Living Support can be detected from various parts of the body, and can be adapted to the physical condition of each user. Cyin for Living Support has eight input and output channels, allowing multiple signals to be used simultaneously by attaching sensors to multiple body parts that read the signals. This makes it possible to freely operate multiple devices and or to freely conduct complex operations of devices. Signal from multiple parts of the body can also be combined together to create stronger input signals
