Russian scientists want to develop a unique social network for completely paralyzed people. “Neyrochat” for people who have lost the ability to speak and move, can appear as early as 2016, said. “The News”
social network for communication between people can be set up in Russia, who have lost any ability to speak normally, move and, as a consequence, fully communicate. The project of such a network, code-named “Neyrochat” developed as part of the “road map» NeuroNet «National Technology Initiative” (NTI).
«Every year in Russia registered almost 450 thousand. New strokes after whose disabilities are up to 85% of survivors of stroke, – said the project manager Natalia Galkina, CEO “Neyrotrend”. . – Total is now about 4 million patients in the Russian Federation in need of means of communication without voice and ability to move on their own: it is necessary for their rehabilitation, socialization and inclusion in acceptable forms of socially useful work. Our main goal – to give the opportunity to all people without speech and movements to communicate with each other and are interested in their fate the people in a specialized social network through ergonomic neyrointerfeysnogo complex -. Neyrochat »
According to Natalia Galkina project idea belongs to the leader and co-director of the working group NeuroNet Andrey Ivashchenko, and appearance of the system is based on scientific elaborations Alexander Kaplan, head of the laboratory of neurophysiology and neurocomputing the MSU interface.
«This unique and very useful project can be implemented in the years 2016-2018, – explained Natalia Galkina. – Patient interface will include a screen, processor, router, wireless headset in a headband with electrodes. The headset will read electroencephalography human and transform it into specific commands ».
The estimate of the project to date has not been approved, but according to information from the Russian Venture Company, where the project has already been presented, its approximate costs . 133 million rubles, of which 30% will be raised from investors in the project
«In the West, the social network for people with a couple of years gaining popularity, -. Stanislav Sazhin, co-founder of the social network for physicians” Doctor on work. ” – And it is best seen as just the idea of specialized networks for diagnosis. Tried to make a network for people in general, but it quickly became clear that patients with problems of the musculoskeletal system completely uninteresting matters, for example, cancer. Therefore, during the last 5 years in the West actively developing online communities of patients with narrow nosology. The first social network was made for people with Crohn’s disease, and then there were others. Such networks are generally commercially successful, as they represent an ideal platform for marketing of drugs for specific groups of patients ».
« road map »NeuroNet has been approved for funding in October 2015 the Council of the Bureau with President on economic modernization and innovative development, headed by the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev. Total Board approved four “road maps” STI: AutoNet, NeuroNet, MarinNet and AeroNet. In the budget of 2016 for STI projects were reserved almost 10 billion rubles, after sequestration there are still 9 billion.
In the “Road Map» NeuroNet clearly describes not only the projects on creation of new products, but also the formation of children’s circles neyromodelistov , labs, but ifinansirovanie pilot programs rehabilitation of the disabled. For these purposes in the years 2016-2018 is requested 6.8 billion rubles for 2019-2020 years – 6.1 billion
Note that the world-renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking even after complete paralysis continues to be active. way of life – are engaged in science, teaching, speaker, communicating with the world via computer speech synthesizer. In 1963, 22-year-old Hawking was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Doctors at the time believed that he live two or three years left. However, their forecasts were not justified, the scientist continued his scientific work, twice married and was the father of three children.
