Challenge Nakano

The challenge

He and his mother hope to be able to communicate with those around them using communication devices (“Let’s chat” or iPad etc) with slightest movement of his hand.

Who it helps

Shunto Nakano is in a bedridden state due to the sequela of meningitis. He is on a respirator, but is able to communicate with his mother using the few fingers he can move. He is currently a student but cannot communicate with the class because there is no way for him to express his will.
