Eye-gaze communication for stroke recovery, neuro rehab, and inpatient care—across patient, caregiver, and provider apps.
Built with clinical & research partners
The Reality
For millions affected by stroke, ALS, and aphasia, communication becomes an impossible barrier.

"I gave up trying to ask for help. The frustration wasn't worth it anymore."

Founder & CEO · Stanford Neuroscientist
20 years at Stanford & VA Palo Alto
When my father had a stroke, I watched him struggle to tell us he was in pain. As a neuroscientist at Stanford, I had spent 20 years studying the brain — but I couldn't help my own father.
That's when I knew what I had to build.
The Breakthrough
Soof translates eye movements into instant communication. No training. No complexity. Just connection.
Advanced eye-tracking detects precise gaze fixation on intuitive communication icons—no physical contact required.
Actionable alerts are instantly pushed to caregiver devices, prioritized by urgency and context.
AI analyzes patterns to monitor neglect risk, mood, health indicators, and rehabilitation progress over time.
What used to take 20 minutes of frustration now happens almost instantly. Soof doesn't just enable communication—it restores dignity and independence.
The Legacy System Disruption
The legacy hardware model is broken. We replaced a $4,000–$8,000 device with a $50/month app on an iPad clinicians already own.

on any standard iPad. Ready in 2.3 seconds.
Soof is FDA cleared as nonsignificant risk. It is not a device. Not FDA approved. Stanford-licensed. NSF-funded. Built for continuous patient neglect monitoring with caregiver alerts on standard iPad. Traditional AAC devices cost $4,000–$8,000.
For Caregivers
Caregivers carry invisible weight. Soof lifts it with continuous patient neglect monitoring in the app. The moment your loved one gazes at a need, you get a push notification — no guessing, no guilt, no panic. Just clarity.

Soof Solutions is an FDA-cleared eye-tracking AAC app that turns any iPad into a communication device for patients with stroke, ALS, aphasia, or TBI.
A patient looks at icons on an iPad. Soof detects gaze and sends a notification to a caregiver app so care teams can respond quickly.
Eye-tracking AAC is augmentative and alternative communication software that lets a person select words, requests, or needs by looking at targets on a screen. Soof brings eye-gaze AAC to a standard iPad instead of relying on traditional dedicated hardware.
Patient neglect monitoring means Soof continuously tracks gaze-driven selections, mood and biomarker patterns, then sends caregivers fast, prioritized alerts when a patient needs support.
Soof is FDA cleared as nonsignificant risk.
Soof is priced at $50/month on standard iPads, compared with traditional AAC hardware that often costs $4,000 to $8,000.
Soof runs on standard iPads, starts at $50/month, and connects patient communication, caregiver alerts, and provider analytics in one platform. Traditional AAC systems often rely on dedicated hardware that can cost thousands of dollars.
Soof includes a Patient App for communication, a Caregiver App for real-time alerts and neglect monitoring, and a Provider App for rehabilitation and outcome tracking.
Soof helps both adults and children with communication problems. It supports communication for people with stroke, ALS, aphasia, TBI, and related conditions that affect speech.
