Neosensory

Neosensory is an American technology company that specializes in wearable devices and sensors that help people with auditory or visual impairments. The company was founded in 2015 with the goal of creating innovative solutions to improve the daily lives of individuals with sensory disabilities.

Neosensory's flagship product is the Cicada wearable device, which is designed for people with a common type of synesthesia known as tactile-auditory synesthesia. People with this condition experience tactile sensations when they hear sounds. The Cicada device uses sensory substitution to provide tactile feedback in response to sound, allowing users to "feel" music, voices, and other sounds through vibrations on their skin. This can enable individuals to navigate their environment more effectively and engage in activities that would otherwise be difficult or impossible.

Neosensory has also developed other wearable devices and sensors designed for people with vision or hearing impairments. These products use various technologies, including artificial intelligence, to provide users with real-time feedback and alerts about their surroundings. For example, a smart cane developed by Neosensory can detect obstacles andännät sensations to guide the user as they walk.

Neosensory's products have received attention and recognition from researchers, clinicians, and media outlets. The company's innovative approach to sensory substitution and its focus on accessibility and inclusivity have made it a leader in the field of assistive technology for sensory impairments.
