A Powerful Voice in Parliament: Emma Vulin MP and the NeuroNode Trilogy We are honoured to share the inspiring story of Emma Vulin, who lives with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and recently used our NeuroNode Trilogy to deliver a speech in the Victorian Parliament. Emma’s courage and determination are a testament to the power of assistive technology in enabling meaningful communication. Seeing her speak in Parliament using our technology was a deeply moving moment for our team and a reminder of the impact these tools can have on real lives. Emma described the moment as historic, noting: “Today we made history by giving the first speech in the Victorian Parliament assisted by my new communication technology.” She also shared how this technology will support her in continuing to advocate for the issues that matter most to her community, even as MND progresses. We’d also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Rebecca Staple, Emma’s dedicated speech pathologist, whose expertise and support played a vital role in helping Emma share her voice with the world. At Control Bionics, we are committed to creating life-changing connections for people living with complex communication and physical needs. Thank you Emma for showing us what’s possible when innovation meets purpose. #SpeechPathology #AAC #SpeechGeneratingDevice Better Rehab Aimee Donovan https://lnkd.in/gaFRzU57

Exciting days in Newcastle, Australia! Over the past two days, we had the opportunity to run sessions showcasing NeuroStrip, our latest innovation in surface EMG technology. NeuroStrip delivers real-time muscle activity feedback for diverse clinical applications – including advanced biofeedback for dysphagia management. What makes NeuroStrip even more remarkable? It weighs less than a sheet of paper and seamlessly conforms to the curvature of the submental region, ensuring comfort and ease of use during therapy. Seeing NeuroStrip in action is a big step forward in making therapy more engaging, measurable, and data-driven. A huge thank you to Ian, The Communication Clinic Speech Pathology Services and all the local speech pathologists and clients who participated in these fascinating sessions. #Dysphagia #SpeechPathology #AssistiveTechnology #NeuroStrip

🚀 Why non-invasive tech wins 👇 We were excited to see this recent Stockhead feature: “Control Bionics says outwitting the world’s richest man is a no-brainer.” The article draws a sharp contrast between invasive brain implants (e.g. Neuralink) and what we’ve been building at CBL: non-invasive, FDA-approved, wearable AAC + neuromuscular tech (like Neuronode and NeuroStrip). This is more than a grab for media attention. It’s a signal: the future of human–machine interfacing doesn’t have to break the skull. There's immense value, scale, and adoptability in what we do — and we’re just getting started. 🔗 Read the full article here: Biocurious: Control Bionics says outwitting the world’s richest man is a no-brainer https://lnkd.in/e7bm4mxv — 🙌 Grateful to the team, the users who drive us, and our partners who believe in a vision of assistive, non-invasive neural empowerment for all. #NeuroTech #AssistiveTech #Wearables #SportsScience #Rehabilitation #Innovation #ControlBionics

This week, in celebration of Speech Pathology Week, Speech Pathology Australia shared the story of Sienna – one of our incredible NeuroNode users. At just 14, Sienna recently said “mum” for the very first time using her communication device. A simple word, but one that carried years of effort, learning, and hope. Through the support of her family, speech pathologists, and her own determination, Sienna is now able to express her needs, share her feelings, participate in school, connect with friends and even set her sights on going to a Taylor Swift concert. Stories like Sienna’s remind us why we do what we do: to give people their voice, unlock independence, and create impact through communication.

Control Bionics at ALS Nexus 2025 Last week we joined the ALS community at ALS Nexus 2025 in Dallas Texas — an event uniting people living with ALS, caregivers, clinicians, researchers and innovators. At the conference we continued to champion our mission: to become the world’s leading provider of innovative augmentative communication and control devices for people with speech and movement disabilities — creating life changing connections and helping individuals maintain independence and control. Thank you to The The ALS Association for bringing together such an important gathering focused on progress and impact. #technology #global #controlbionics #asx

Great summary from Brayden Mifsud on how our NeuroStrip® technology is providing new insights to athletes and teams.
“What specific muscle patterns am I doing to achieve that force?” Brayden Mifsud, Program Manager at Neurobounce, is using EMG biofeedback to uncover what is really happening beneath the surface of movement. Powered by our NeuroStrip® technology and real time EMG biofeedback, every athlete in a recent SEDA College VIC program improved their vertical jump by at least 5cm, with one achieving a remarkable 14cm gain. Performance is not just about output. It is about understanding the patterns that create it. For clubs, players and associations looking to gain that edge, feel free to reach out to Brayden. #controlbionics #asx #sport #business
