Cognixion ONE™ Press Kit
Say Hello to Cognixion ONE
For too long, the assistive technology industry has relied on repurposed consumer electronics, often years behind the cutting edge of what is possible.
At Cognixion, we believe that every individual deserves a solution as unique as they are – and that it’s possible to build one tool for communication, access, and everything else life brings their way.
Enter Cognixion ONE. No more dangling wires. No more PC monitor blocking your view of the person you’re speaking with. No more leaving your voice and your control at home, or in the classroom; Cognixion ONE is a wearable window to the world, offering both speech and an integrated AI assistant for home automation control and other enrichment.
Whether you use Cognixion ONE’s AR environment via head pointing, Brain-Computer Interface, or switch, you’ll see how it’s built from the ground up to reduce the lag between intention and outcome.
Think it. Say it. Do it.

Cognixion is an ambitious, award-winning neuroscience and tech company. Established in 2017, we’re working on a number of revolutionary apps for people affected by neurodevelopmental disorders and injuries to the brain and spinal cord. We specialize in AAC apps, augmented reality, and bridging the gap between marginalized silence and the rest of the world.
We’re AI-powered people with a talented team of visionary technologists, researchers and designers focused on creating products that accelerate and enrich human communication and connection.
Cognixion develops software that people with communication challenges can use to express themselves 10X faster than any other solution on the market. Truly augmentative conversational interfaces. Our award-winning AAC app, Speakprose, is now available on iTunes. We’ve recently announced the release of Speakprose Pro+ with revolutionary eye-tracking and facial recognition technology that allows users to control the app through eye movements and facial expressions.
Areas of Focus
We build upon and create sound science, cutting-edge technologies and natural interfaces for accessing the world in new ways.
● BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACES
Our wireless BCI technology optimizes the signals from each user's unique brain and can be fitted to any head shape. By reading brain signals alone, our BCI solution detects attention toward an object that
represents the intended speech.
● ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Our advanced machine learning algorithms adapt to the nuances in how users interact with our technology. With each use, our technology gets smarter and more efficient at recognizing, and even predicting what the user intends to communicate.
● AUGMENTED REALITY
We enable users to simultaneously interact with their physical environment and the overlaid digital world. As they select an object in AR to indicate their intended speech, we personalize communication options according to the user's current context and adapt the AR system based on changing environments.
● APPLIED NEUROSCIENCE
We create solutions based on behavioral and brain science to support learning and operation. Our structured digital environments are motivating, easy to use, and quickly develop new capabilities.
● FOSTERING HUMAN CAPABILITIES
We build on whatever abilities are available – hearing, touch, gesture, movement, or even simply attention to the environment – as we design interfaces to enable nonverbal individuals communicate their intentions.
● BEHAVIORAL BENEFITS & SOCIAL IMPACT
We improve quality of life and create economic impact. Easier access to communication for the nonverbal individual means reductions in frustration, isolation, and costly behavioral interventions. Their newfound independence and social inclusion leads to new opportunities to close the equity gap.
Quotes: CEO
“Mixed Reality is the next big evolution of mobile computing.”
Andreas Forsland, CEO
“Electronics are getting smaller, faster, more powerful and sensors understanding more about our bodies. It makes perfect sense for Cognixion to be ‘the one’ that makes it possible to control mixed reality experiences hands-free using one’s body.”
Andreas Forsland, CEO
“Cognixion wants to shrink the time between intentions and outcomes.”
Andreas Forsland, CEO
"This FDA Breakthrough Device designation is a significant milestone, and we are thrilled to receive it for our Cognixion ONE device," said Andreas Forsland, CEO and Founder of Cognixion. "It validates the potential of our technology to make a real difference in the lives of individuals with severe motor impairments and underscores the importance of how AI can be used to assist people in everyday situations.

QUOTES: Experts & Customers
“I have spent about 50 years diagnosing and treating patients with brain injury. This device is exciting.”
Dr. William Goldie, Neurologist
"Cognixion is solving a substantial and real global problem the right way. Their quality of integration of tech and usability is leading the industry."
Alon Braun, Neurotech.com
“Cognixion has created a breakthrough in human-machine interface: a practical, wearable device that allows you to control a computer with your brain. It will allow people with severe motor and speech disabilities to speak with family and friends, and -- via an integrated virtual assistant -- interact with the digital and physical world.”
Tom Gruber, Co-Founder of Siri, Former Head of Advanced Development at Apple
“I’d have thought the idea behind Cognixion One was merely wildly imaginative if it weren’t already a reality. In my opinion, this product will prove to be truly, fundamentally life changing for people young and old with varying levels of ability.”
Alan Brightman, Former Vice President at Yahoo & Founder of Apple’s Worldwide Disability Solutions Group
