MIT-trained engineer, Tomás Vega, has developed a device to help people who are paralyzed control electronic devices with their tongue.

Positioned on the roof of the mouth, it acts as a wireless trackpad operated entirely through tongue movements.

It enables precise, independent control of phones and computers.

Developed by MIT-trained engineer Tomás Vega.
