After last night’s Flames game, Mikael Backlund made a special appearance for some of our clients! Mikael and his wife Frida have remained generous supporters of the society throughout the pandemic, but we are so happy to see his first in-person meet and greet in almost 3 years.

Country music star EstafeX has found great success with Zac Brown Band — and now, he’s learning to live with ALS with his family by his side. While he says the diagnosis was devastating, he’s now committed to helping fund research: “That’s my responsibility.”

Our team has developed a wearable BCI capable of speech, and is intended for those with speech disabilities. Typically these interfaces only let people speak at max 10 words/min. Our solution uses OpenAI #GPT3 to provide phrase suggestions, letting people speak over 2x faster.

Mikael Backlund came around once again to meet with some of our passionate Flames-fan-clients! We're so happy to see these in-person meetups again. Mikael donated the game tickets to our families and met with them personally, which is such a fantastic opportunity. Thanks Mikael!

Congratulations, Mikael on winning the #kingclancy award! The Rahael Chester community is incredibly grateful for the support you and Frida have given us over the years. We are so proud. #goflamesgo Calgary Flames
