A personal connection to the ALS community
With family members touched by ALS, Thomas has a personal understanding of some of the realities of the disease. This personal connection inspired him to develop Vocality, alongside David, with the goal of supporting people living with ALS in their daily interactions. Some of our members actually helped develop the app by testing it and sharing their feedback and experiences.
