What AssisTech does

AssisTech Sp. z o.o. is a privately held Polish medical device manufacturer headquartered in Gdańsk, founded in 2014 to commercialize the C-Eye system. The C-Eye system originated as the Cyber-Oko prototype developed at Politechnika Gdańska (Gdańsk University of Technology) and consists of infrared LED illuminators, an IR camera, and proprietary software that detects user gaze to enable communication and cognitive assessment for patients who cannot speak or move due to neurological conditions. The product portfolio includes two hardware devices (C-Eye X for home users and C-Eye X PRO for hospitals and rehabilitation centers), a touch-based medical tablet (neuroTAB), and two software applications (eyefeel for AAC therapy and communication via eye gaze, and eyeLearn for special-education curriculum delivery). The company's flagship proprietary asset is a consciousness assessment module developed with Prof. Agnieszka Maryniak that differentiates vegetative state from minimally conscious state using objective visual-fixation detection rather than subjective behavioral scales.

AssisTech generates revenue through four streams: hardware sales of customized C-Eye systems priced individually per configuration, software licensing (eyefeel from 290 PLN for a 6-month license), professional training and three-tier therapist certification programs, and equipment rentals through a network of 12 OWiT (Early Therapeutic Intervention Centers) partner locations across Poland. The business holds ISO 13485 certification covering design, manufacturing, distribution, and service of medical equipment, and its go-to-market is direct sales-led via headquarters plus regional C-Eye consultants; recent geographic expansion includes a first institutional sale to Evangelisches Krankenhaus Oldenburg in Germany. Target customers span neurological patients with stroke, traumatic brain injury, ALS, cerebral palsy, and disorders of consciousness, with B2B buyers being rehabilitation centers, hospital neurology and ICU departments, special education institutions, foundations serving disabled individuals (e.g., Fundacja PODAJ DALEJ), and families/caregivers.

The company maintains active clinical research programs, including a 2023-registered ClinicalTrials.gov trial (NCT05536921) on eye-tracking diagnostics led by Prof. Grzegorz Żurek at Wroclaw University of Health and Sport Sciences, and a pilot clinical study coordinated by Prof. Józef Opara at Górnośląskie Centrum Rehabilitacji REPTY. Leadership is concentrated with Bartosz Kunka as President (Prezes Zarzadu). No external venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment rounds are disclosed, and ownership appears to be founder/researcher-based.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• AssistiveWare: AssistiveWare develops AAC software (Proloquo, Proloquo4Text, Keeble) running on iOS that competes with AssisTech's eyefeel on the software/content layer. Pure-software model offers faster iteration and lower distribution cost, representing a structural alternative to AssisTech's hardware-led approach.
• Widgit Software: Widgit produces symbol-based communication and educational software for special needs and AAC, comparable to AssisTech's eyeLearn on the special-education content layer. Symbol libraries overlap with C-Eye's pictogram-based communication boards.
• Lingraphica: Lingraphica designs speech-generating devices and AAC apps for adults with aphasia and other communication disorders, with clinical positioning in U.S. rehabilitation. Comparable medical-device AAC model targeting similar neurological patient populations as C-Eye.
• Control Bionics: Control Bionics develops neural-controlled AAC solutions (NeuroNode, COSYS) that combine EMG, eye-tracking and other biosignals. Overlaps with AssisTech on the high-end AAC for severely disabled patients and on the AAC content platform layer.

Direct peers

• PRC-Saltillo: PRC-Saltillo manufactures AAC speech-generating devices (ChatPlus, TouchChat, LAMP Words for Life) used in clinics and special education. Comparable as a medical-device AAC manufacturer with hospital/school channel overlap and pediatric special education focus similar to AssisTech's eyeLearn target.
• Tobii Dynavox: Tobii Dynavox is the global leader in eye-tracking-based AAC and assistive communication devices for individuals with speech and physical disabilities - directly competing with C-Eye X PRO in hospitals and rehab centers, with overlapping medical certification, eye-gaze AAC technology, and AAC content libraries.
• Smartbox Assistive Technology: Smartbox produces AAC devices and software (Grid, Tobii Dynavox compatible) for individuals with complex communication needs. Overlaps with AssisTech on the AAC-plus-eye-tracking-plus-special-education axis, particularly in UK and European special education and neurorehabilitation markets.
• Irisbond: Irisbond is a Spanish eye-tracking company producing gaze-interaction hardware and software for AAC, accessibility, and industrial HMI. Direct competitor to C-Eye with similar combined hardware-plus-AAC-software model and shared European market focus.

Regional players

• CJ Healthcare / TotalCare (Polish rehabilitation distributors): PFRON and Polish PCPR offices form the funding ecosystem enabling assistive tech purchases in Poland - regional channel and regulatory counterparties that shape AssisTech's domestic go-to-market similarly to how EU reimbursement frameworks shape Tobii Dynavox's.

Broad incumbents

• Tobii: Tobii is the parent of Tobii Dynavox and a dominant provider of eye-tracking technology across medical, research, gaming, and industrial markets. Its underlying eye-tracking hardware and platforms overlap with C-Eye's core technology stack, and integration partnerships define part of AssisTech's addressable ecosystem.
