Technology's finest purpose is to improve life quality:
This device uses a dental retainer and tongue piercing to control a wheelchair for patients with severe spinal lesions and paralyses :)

A Georgia Institute of Technology team of electrical engineers have developed a sensor-packed dental retainer that people with high-level spinal cord injuries can manipulate with their tongue to manoeuvre an electric wheelchair.

The latest prototype of the Tongue Drive System lets users wear a dental retainer embedded with sensors that track the location of a tiny magnet attached to the tongues of users. This is achieved by giving participants a "clinical" tongue piercing and tongue stud containing a tiny magnet embedded in the upper ball.

"By moving the sensors inside the mouth, we have created a Tongue Drive System with increased mechanical stability and comfort that is nearly unnoticeable," said Maysam Ghovanloo, an associate professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

It's always good to see modern technologies being used on supporting people who need a helping hand in their everyday life.
