Jedi Mind, Inc. (Pink Sheets: JEDM) (http://www.jedimindinc.com) announced today that their Medical Division is now working on a number of medical applications for patients in wheelchairs. An estimated 1.6 million Americans residing outside of institutions use wheelchairs, according to data from the National Health Interview Survey on Disability (NHIS-D). Jedi Mind's Medical Division is seeking to develop software application that is entirely based on the cognitive process, or "thought control". Some applications already exist but depend more on physical input such as facial expressions.
"We have had much more success in the marketplace than we expected to have and it has enabled us to move quickly forward with our Medical Division. Our initial focus will be on helping people in wheelchairs and those that have mobility issues," said Brent Fouch, CEO of Jedi Mind, Inc. "We are already being contacted by Doctors and other medical professionals that want to participate in development of these applications. We have another initiative in our Medical Division that we expect to announce within the next couple of weeks as well. We are excited to begin work on products that can truly improve the lives of thousands of people," Fouch said.
