According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Communication is a fundamental human need, yet many individuals with severe communication deficits face significant challenges in expressing their thoughts, needs, and emotions. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems offer a lifeline to nonverbal individuals and those with multiple disabilities, including deafness, autism, paralysis, dyslexia, and more. However, the existing AAC solutions in India are often costly and imported, limiting their accessibility. Our innovative Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device, aptly named SAHYOG, combination of hardware and software revolutionizes assistive technology by addressing the diverse needs of individuals with communication disabilities. SAHYOG's design embodies inclusivity and functionality, offering a comprehensive solution for effective communication and interaction so that the communication gap in specially abled lives can be bridged including enhancing the quality of life for users. It will be the first ever device in this AAC Technology that is going to be manufactured in India, as currently these devices are imported from foreign countries at very high cost."
