Empowering the voiceless
Dico Technologies designs, develops and manufactures Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices, which allow people with speech disabilities to communicate in a simple and intuitive way, using their motor skills even when these are very limited.
The problem
When the patient cannot speak
There are many people every day who find themselves unable to communicate due to a speech disability and, at the same time, are bedridden or in a wheelchair.
Our solution
A complete AAC solution, innovative and easy to learn
The patient communicates by interacting with a tablet through simple voluntary movements, which remain usable even when mobility is reduced. The wearable wireless DicoSensor detects those movements and the patented DICo® algorithm turns them into digital commands.
Wireless motion sensor
A wearable motion detector picks up even the most limited residual movement, with no cables and no bulk.
Dedicated tablet
An intuitive, high-contrast interface guides the patient through composing messages in a natural way.
Proprietary multilingual software
Software designed for the healthcare environment, easy to use, with machine learning algorithms and support for 57 languages.
Our products
Two devices, one mission
Hospital care
DICo® 1000Plus
It allows the clinician to understand the patient’s needs easily and more precisely, while the patient becomes more involved and present in their own care pathway. Family members, too, can interact better with their loved ones during visits.
Home care
DICo® XpM
It enables patients in home care to regain their autonomy and to keep up relationships with their loved ones and caregivers.
