The full replacement of the PC-mouse through the tongue-mouse gives highly handicapped people like quadriplegics new chances in their life. The idea of the tongue-mouse was given high international attention at the inventory show at MUBA 1994 in Basel. At the Neu-Technikum Buchs in the Institute of Microsystem Technology, the development of the sensor system of the tongue-mouse took place. The system is based on piezo-ceramics as sensor material connected with anisotropic conductive adhesives on a flexible printed foil and the chip-on-flex technology. This sensor module is placed on a conventional dental plate fitted to the patient.
