The Brindisys project aims at designing and developing a general assistive tecnology to support communication and autonomy in people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) from the onset of the disease to the locked-in phase. The prototype consists of a specific interface and applications allowing for communication and environmental control that can be managed both with conventional/assistive input devices and with a P300-based Brain Computer Interface (BCI). This work describes the functionalities of the current prototype and reports a preliminary assessment with end users.
