Our take
Born from the personal frustration felt by co-founder Dexter Ang, whose mother suffered from ALS, Pison was created to help improve the quality of life for patients who lose the ability to speak, write, and gesture while battling the nervous system disease.
The company provides technology that allows ALS patients to interact with wearable devices and control the physical world through thinking alone. With development partners including Google, Microsoft, and Samsung, the system captures neuromuscular signals on the surface of the skin and combines them with machine learning and AI to interpret how people intend to move their hands.
Pison has raised money both through grants and traditional investment rounds, closing its Series A in 2021. This funding is being used to develop multiple market-ready products, and to increase the company’s headcount.
