Raytown man, Jeremy Tye, who has been living with locked-in syndrome for over two decades, is hopeful that new eye tracking technology will give him a voice. The 32-year-old, who is paralyzed due to this rare neurological disorder, currently communicates using a letter chart with the help of his mother, Holly Tye. Despite the challenges he faces, Jeremy is described as fun, outgoing, and full of joy by his family.
His former psychologist turned friend, Dr. Brian Belden, believes that the new technology could be life-changing for Jeremy, allowing him to text, ask questions, and participate in conversations. Jeremy dreams of becoming a motivational speaker and writing a book once he is able to communicate more effectively with this new technology.
Holly Tye expressed her excitement for the possibilities this technology could bring for Jeremy, and also mentioned that everyone who knows him would be thrilled to not always have to initiate conversations with him. Despite the challenges of insurance approval and a trial with the technology, the Tye family remains hopeful for the future.
