CCALS Cultivating Compassion Education Series: Recorded on July 30, 2023.
Discover How an iPhone Can Become the Ultimate ALS Communication and Assistive Tool with Tom Meadows, founder of Stevesway.com and longtime tech entrepreneur, and Ron Hoffman, CCALS Founder, and Kristine Copley, CCALS Communication Director.
Tom Meadows watched with frustration as his oldest friend, Steve, struggled to communicate when his ALS progressed. He could see how being unable to connect was creating an increasingly isolated life for Steve. It was making a difficult situation so much worse, so much lonelier and depressing than it needed to be. Tom set about exploring off-the-shelf tech solutions that anyone could use. It turned out that an ordinary iPhone had sophisticated voice and gesture recognition capabilities buried deep inside its operating system. Tom figured out the steps required to turn on these tools and he has now developed a kit that allows anyone with ALS, or other neuro-degenerative conditions, to navigate the changing communication needs they may have along the path of their disease. You will want to be there for the public unveiling of this revolutionary communication tool!
