Since its release, Apple Vision Pro has been discussed a lot in the context of entertainment and work, but its most meaningful long term use case might be happening in healthcare. A new clinical study from Cognixion is using Vision Pro to learn more about how people living with conditions such as ALS, spinal cord injuries, or stroke related impairments can communicate using a combination of brain signals, eye tracking, and AI.

About Apple @ Work: Bradley Chambers managed an enterprise IT network from 2009 to 2021. Through his experience deploying and managing firewalls, switches, a device management system, enterprise grade Wi-Fi, thousands of Macs, and thousands of iPads, Bradley highlights the ways Apple IT managers deploy Apple devices, build networks to support them, train users, share stories from the trenches of IT management, and point out ways Apple could improve its products for IT departments.
“Apple has set a global standard by making accessibility integral to every device, and Apple Vision Pro extends that commitment to spatial computing,” said Andreas Forsland, CEO of Cognixion. “By exploring how Cognixion’s non invasive BCI technology and AI applications can work with Apple’s accessibility features, we hope to unlock new levels of independence and connection for people living with ALS, spinal cord injuries, stroke, and traumatic brain injuries. Our focus is on improving lives today without requiring surgery or tethered systems.”
Cognixion’s clinical study, which runs through April 2026, focuses on people living with ALS, spinal cord injuries, and stroke related speech impairments. More than 14 million people in the U.S. live with neurological conditions that limit communication. The device used in the study is not yet FDA cleared and is not for sale but the findings could shape how accessibility technology and communication evolve in the coming years.
Why Apple Vision Pro?
Vision Pro’s design choices make it uniquely suited for this kind of innovation in healthcare. Its high resolution video passthrough allows patients to see and interact with the real world while using digital overlays for communication. I have always believed AR would have a larger long term impact than VR, and the combination of Apple’s hardware, software, and accessibility APIs gives researchers a ready made environment. With Apple handling what it does best, Cognixion can focus on advancing its EEG and AI systems without reinventing an operating system or the interface around it.
Cognixion specializes in noninvasive brain computer interfaces, and the company’s Nucleus technology reads electrical activity from the brain through sensors in an EEG headset. When paired with Apple Vision Pro, those signals can be translated into commands or interactions that happen inside Apple’s spatial computing environment. Vision Pro’s accessibility framework is critical to this, and I believe much of the work Apple has done on accessibility over the years has built the foundation for this progress. Core features like Eye Tracking, Dwell Control, AssistiveTouch, and Switch Control make it possible for someone with limited or no motor control to navigate and select items without touching a button or speaking a word.
