Pison is creating an applied nerve-sensing and insights platform that will fundamentally change the way we work to maximize quality of life. The Pison platform leverages the microvoltage that runs through the human body when our brains communicate to our muscle systems. Pison’s machine learning interprets the intent of that electrical signal – such as lifting a finger or inhaling a breath and communicates that intent to third party applications. The Pison platform can tell what your body wants to do before your body even moves. Situational awareness and robots are a $30B government market.
