Harchie's Legacy in Assistive Tech | Bristol News

A new lab in Bristol, now called Harchie’s Lab, honors Harchie Sagoo—a brilliant young man who, after contracting a virus in Spain as an infant, faced severe motor and speech challenges but thrived through cutting-edge eye-tracking tech. Harchie became a vital tester for Smartbox, helping refine communication devices that empower over 100,000 people worldwide. His father calls the lab a tribute to how tech bridges the gap for those with disabilities, and Harchie himself saw these tools as extensions of his identity—enabling learning, connection, and independence. The lab’s name is a powerful symbol of how innovation and human insight transform lives. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
