From Stroke to Vision – A Project Born from Real Need

1. The Day Everything Changed
On July 28th, 2024, I came home with a severe headache.
A few moments later, I collapsed.
I was alone.
My partner was working in another city, almost ten hours away. When my messages stopped, he understood something was wrong and drove through the night. Without the keys to the house, he had to call the fire department.
They found me unconscious.
I had suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke.

2. The Missing TimeSome parts of my story are lost forever.The stroke damaged the area of my brain responsible for memory and thought. I do not remember everything that happened. What I know is that after about 22 hours, I was taken to the hospital. A CT scan revealed how serious my condition was, and I was transferred to a specialized brain hospital.I underwent a nine-and-a-half-hour brain surgery to remove the blood clot compressing my brain and to reopen the blocked blood vessels.That surgery saved my life.

3-3. Waking Up in a Silent Body
When I slowly regained awareness, the right side of my body was paralyzed.
I could not walk.
I could not speak.
I remember sounds more than images: nurses’ voices, needles for blood tests, machines, and countless CT scans. I remember the stroke unit on the third floor — and the suffering shared by patients, families, and medical staff.

  • 4. The Thought That Kept Me Alive
    Even while bedridden, my mind kept working.
    Every day, as nurses washed and moved me in bed, I watched them. I saw their effort, their fatigue, their care. I saw families struggling next to their loved ones.
    One thought never left me:
    There must be a better way.
    That thought helped me survive the month and a half in the hospital. It gave meaning to time.

5. Recovery and Relearning Life
In mid-September 2024, I returned home.
I began speech therapy to relearn words I had lost.
At home, I studied again from the basics — like a child learning language for the first time. Slowly, my voice returned. My left eye, which had stopped seeing, recovered as the optic nerve healed.
But the idea born in the hospital stayed with me.
6. From Personal Pain to a Shared Reality
Caring for my elderly mother, now bedridden due to age and serious health conditions, made everything clearer.
What I experienced was not exceptional.
It is daily life for millions of people.
Nurses, caregivers, and family members lift, move, and assist patients every day — often alone, often exhausted. Pain and physical strain are accepted as normal.
They shouldn’t be.

  1. 7. The Project – Patent Pending
    From this lived suffering, a project was born.
    A system that does not currently exist on the market.
    Because the patent process is ongoing, technical details cannot yet be disclosed.
    What can be said is this:
    the project aims to reduce physical effort, pain, and exhaustion for both patients and caregivers.
    It is designed for hospitals, care homes, private homes, bedridden patients, elderly people, and obese patients..

Straordinario

8. A Final Thought
This project was not born in a laboratory.
It was born in a hospital bed.
It was born from silence, paralysis, and observation.
From the belief that care can be more humane — for everyone involved.
This is my story.
But it is also the story of many.
And it is only the beginning.
