ScaleFocus is working continuously towards making a bigger impact in the personal care (health and assistance) domain. This is mostly because our work for the “Supporting Active Ageing through Multimodal coaching“ and SoFit* systems, both performed under funding by the European Commission.

ScaleFocus has obtained a registration of an utility model for its other innovative project in personal care SoundVision – e-gadget for visually impaired people. This model secures company intellectual property over the innovative device. In addition, the company has successfully moved for a broader intellectual property coverage by filling in for a patent.

The goal of the device, with code name SoundVision, is to enable visually impaired people to ease their daily activities at an affordable price. ScaleFocus has worked on two main versions – a stand-alone gadget and one, which pairs with a smartphone to enable advanced features.

SoundVision currently supports objects distance measuring, color and light recognition. The more sophisticated version provides a framework, which our development community is starting to use to enable features like multiple currency bills recognition, GPS and compass assisted navigation and assisted shopping with real-time brands detection.

SoundVision prototypes are already in use, being tested by initial users. ScaleFocus is gathering critical data for the device to make it easy to use and adjust to the needs of a wide group of users. The company is gradually planning mass production.

ScaleFocus steadily invests into developing innovative software solutions to serve such important social causes. The company aim is to make an impact in healthcare and support all people who can benefit from our technology solutions.
