Rewriting the Future
of Disability
This is what Co-Design actually looks like...
A Chief Technologist who codes with his eyes. UX designers in London. Engineers in Mexico, Canada, and France. Researchers at Tecnológico de Monterrey. Beta testers around the world.
Our global team turned Bernard Muller's vision into SMF VoxAI—a platform now serving six countries. Bernard, living with ALS, architected the entire system using only eye-tracking technology.
This wasn't built for people with disabilities.
It was built with them—and by them.
Our Mission
Born from Dr. Peter Scott-Morgan's conviction that disability barriers are engineering problems to be solved, the Scott-Morgan Foundation continues his rebellion against the limitations imposed by severe communication and mobility disabilities. We leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to democratize assistive technology by breaking down the silos and monopolies that keep life-changing innovations locked away in expensive, isolated devices.
​
Co-designing with people living with severe communication and mobility disabilities, we build human-centric AI platforms that transform assistive technology from fragmented systems into open, interconnected ecosystems. By designing for the most extreme challenges—like ALS/MND—we create solutions that benefit all 500 million people worldwide living with communication and mobility disabilities.
Peter's Legacy
The Foundation was born from the relentless ambition and “incurable optimism” of Dr. Peter Scott-Morgan, the visionary robotics scientist who reimagined his own future with MND after diagnosis in 2017.
​
Supported by the steadfast love of his husband Francis and devoted family, Peter underwent pioneering surgery to prolong his life and embrace a technology-driven transformation. Peter became known worldwide as the “world’s first human cyborg,” the living embodiment of a brighter future and a beacon for countless others facing extreme disability. He launched what he proudly called a rebellion, leading by extraordinary, fearless example, and inspiring countless others.
​
Peter passed in June 2022 but remained fantastically driven through his final moments. The Foundation carries on his work to build a future where everyone—regardless of condition or physical limitations—can thrive.
Foundation Focus
Redefining what it means to be human
​
What is our relationship with technology? How can sophisticated, customizable avatars change our identities? How fluid can the line be between human-centric AI and the individual?
Assistive Technology
​
From sensitive eye-gaze tracking to powerful brain-computer interfaces, we develop integrated solutions for independence, communication, and creation.
Disability Advocacy ​
​
We campaign for government and healthcare infrastructure—and the options they provide to patients— to keep pace with technological and medical breakthroughs.
Changing Attitudes
​
Extreme disabilities are not a death sentence. We educate doctors, patients, families, and the general public to understand how bright the future can be
Coalition Building
​
We bring together experts across industries—from AI researchers to elected officials—to develop unprecedented and inclusive initiatives that dismantle oppressive norms.
