Kemal was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease four years ago. Mealtimes were previously a frustrating time for Mr Omar, as he completely relied on his wife Zubeida or one of his children to feed him. Now, the family is eating together again. Queenslanders stricken by degenerative conditions like Motor Neurone Disease (MND) can feed themselves again and even send emails and texts, thanks to ground-breaking assistive technology being rolled out in people’s homes by Mater at Home. The Obi eating device allows users to feed them themselves by operating a robotic arm with fingertip controls – or even with the movement of their eyes. NeuroNode Triology system enables users to control a screen through eye movements – allowing them to browse the internet, watch TV shows and movies, and send and receive SMS and email messages.
