In an instant, a single flash can turn a moment of joy into a moment of real danger. We're building the glasses that detect and neutralize that flash before it ever reaches the brain.
For most people, a flash of light is a fleeting moment. For millions, it can be life-threatening.
It's called sensory accessibility, and it's the barrier no one talks about. Flickering lights at events, concerts and movie theaters, video games, even the strobe of a passing police car, can trigger a severe epileptic seizure or extreme sensory overload. For them, these are invisible walls.
MY-GUY is named after Guy Moses, son of co-founder Udi Moses.
Guy is an athlete on the autism spectrum, an international champion with eleven medals at the Virtus European and World Championships. When Guy suffered his first epileptic seizure in the middle of a live show, his father made a decision: no one would be left outside the celebration.
Smart, stylish glasses with active lenses that neutralize the danger before it reaches the brain. The name is no accident: it's for Guy, but also "my guy," "my friend." Not a cold piece of tech, but personal protection that's always there.
Active, not passive. Today's solutions are dark, always-on tinted lenses that dim everything, distort color and impair vision, so most people simply don't wear them. MY-GUY stays clear and transparent 99% of the time, and acts only on the dangerous flash itself.
Tiny sensors continuously scan the surrounding light patterns.
The Rhythm Engine, the smart core of our product, is designed to identify only the dangerous flicker patterns: frequency, deep-red color, and flash intensity.
A fast liquid-crystal lens neutralizes the flicker within the first pulse, long before the brain reaches the seizure threshold.
The bottom line: the science and the components already exist and are mature. We're the first to combine them into a fast, wearable, smart product.
All parts are available off-the-shelf, leaving healthy margins at consumer price.
The product was born for epilepsy, but it touches a far wider circle: anyone harmed by flashing light. Migraine sufferers driven into a dark room by bright light, people on the autism spectrum who experience sensory overload, those recovering from concussion, and gamers who skip titles that carry photosensitivity warnings.
Families waiting for a solution that prevents the next seizure.
Cinemas, event venues and institutions bound by accessibility regulation.
AR glasses makers, the next generation of smart eyewear, will need a protective layer against harmful visual stimuli, and our Rhythm Engine fits right in.
All told, an audience of hundreds of millions and market potential in the billions of dollars. Epilepsy is the entry point, and the Rhythm Engine is a platform for active sensory protection.
Guy's father, and the entrepreneur who decided no one would be left outside the celebration. Partner at the Happiness Studies Academy alongside Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, and co-creator of the world's only Master's and Doctorate in Happiness Studies.

A serial entrepreneur and trailblazer in Israeli health. Co-founder of Israel's first school of science-based nutritional medicine, and founder of ONCO LOGIC, an integrative model that unites leading authorities from science, traditional and Western medicine for women facing cancer. A children's author, poet, and psychodrama therapist. Eldest sister to Adi, who lives with drug-resistant epilepsy, and mother to Adam, a wonderful boy on the autism spectrum who faced myoclonic epilepsy. For her, MY-GUY isn't an idea. It's home.
An athlete on the autism spectrum. A soldier in regular service on the outstanding-athlete track, winner of eleven medals in international Virtus athletics competitions, and a member of Israel's national adapted-athletics team. The human face of the venture.
We're raising a Pre-Seed / Seed round to develop the MVP.
A chance to get in on day one of an entirely new category: active sensory protection. A market of hundreds of millions of people, a product that protects them, and a story you won't forget.
