Executive management of Voxello. Voxello participates in the $55 billion dollar assistive technology market. Voxello has developed a proprietary "noddle" which interprets voluntary actions, such as an eye blink, or tongue clicking sound, into methods for those who have no other means of communicating to effectively communicate and control devices such as a tablet with speech generation software, environmental controls, and entertainment. There are 3.9 million hospitalized patients that cannot speak or access a nurse call and are 3 times more likely to experience a preventable adverse event as a result. In 2012 the Joint Commission mandated that if effective means of communication could be provided to patients it must be instilled in our hospitals. With the Voxello noddle, we aim to reduce these adverse events while also improving patient satisfaction.We are Voxello, improving communication for better outcomes.
