HUMAN-CENTERED AI · ZURICH, SWITZERLAND

More independence.New possibilities.

We develop AI-powered assistive technology for people with disabilities. Our first prototype turns brain signals into wheelchair control commands.

Working prototype · Seeking partners for the next stage

01 / THE WORKING PROTOTYPE

From intentto movement.

Our first application uses a non-invasive EEG interface to translate brain activity into wheelchair control commands. Watch the development footage.

THE DEVELOPMENT APPROACH

01Capture a signal

A non-invasive EEG interface measures brain activity.

02Interpret intent

Machine learning translates the signals into directional commands.

03Support an action

The prototype sends commands to the wheelchair control system.

Development prototype. Integration, safety evidence and validation with users are the next steps.

02 / OUR PROGRESS

Technology should expand what people can do.

We have moved from an idea to a functional prototype. The next step is integration and validation with users.

01

Human intent comes first

We built a prototype that translates brain signals into wheelchair control commands. See it in the demonstration above.

02

A real starting point

Our team brings together AI, robotics, hardware and neurotechnology expertise.

03

Built with purpose

We funded the prototype ourselves. We are now seeking partners and capital to develop it into a product.

03 / A PERSONAL BEGINNING

Lived experience.Shared ambition.

NEXTSYNAPSE grew from Mateusz Zatylny’s experience of living with dystonia and his ambition to make assistive technology more accessible.

After health challenges interrupted his biology studies, he continued learning independently. Facebook-funded AI courses in 2020 led to the idea of using brain signals as directional commands.

THE JOURNEY SO FAR

An idea, built step by step.

  1. 2016

    A new beginning

    Mateusz moves to Switzerland to study biology.

  2. 2020

    Learning becomes an idea

    Facebook-funded AI courses help turn learning into an idea.

  3. 2021

    NEXTSYNAPSE is founded

    The international team comes together.

  4. 2024

    The learning continues

    Mateusz begins online Computer Science studies at the University of London.

  5. PROTOTYPE

    An idea becomes tangible

    The team builds a functional prototype with its own funds.

  6. NEXT

    From prototype to product

    Seeking partners and funding for the next stage.

04 / PEOPLE BEHIND THE PURPOSE

Different expertise. One shared direction.

An international team with expertise in AI, robotics, hardware and neurotechnology.

05 / THE NEXT CHAPTER

From a working prototypeto a product people can use.

We are seeking CHF 1.5M for an 18-month programme: define the product, integrate the system, validate it and prepare pilot units.

PROPOSED FUNDING ROUNDCHF 1.5M
PLANNED PROGRAMME18 months

PROPOSED ROADMAP · AFTER FUNDING

PHASE 01 / Months 0–2

Define & de-risk

Establish intended use, user needs, system requirements and the regulatory route. Define the safety and evidence plan.

A focused product definition.

Planned allocationCHF 150k

These are planning targets. Timing and scope depend on funding, classification, validation and partner agreements.
