A team tasked with assisting people with disabilities which consists of family physicians, ordinary and special education teachers, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, rehabilitation engineers, and other experts, such as consulting representatives from assistive technology manufacturers. This technology can be a software program or piece of equipment ranging from low-tech devices like communication boards or high-tech special-purpose computers. This technology mainly focuses on devices like wheelchairs, walkers, braces, educational software, power lifts, pencil holders, eye-gaze and head trackers, and much more.
Due to the rising world’s population ages, there has been a drastic need for assistive technology. Devices provided under this technology like hearing aids, mobility aids, and vision enhancement devices benefit the elderly. Due to the rising world’s population ages, there has been a drastic need for assistive technology. Devices provided under this technology like hearing aids, mobility aids, and vision enhancement devices benefit the elderly.
With the elderly population, problems like chronic health disorders, cognitive decline, and mobility concerns, there is a vital need for assistive technology. These technologies cover a broad spectrum of gadgets, such as home automation systems, mobility assistance, hearing aids, vision-enhancing equipment, and communication devices. The need for assistive technology is driven by the aging population, as more and more older persons look for creative ways to keep their independence and enhance their general quality of life.
For instance, Embodied Labs was introduced by Carrie Shaw in Los Angeles, California, where they introduced virtual reality headsets. These headsets allow caregivers to adopt the role of an elderly person dealing with a range of conditions, such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and macular degeneration. (source:https://www.embodiedlabs.com/about#:~:text=The%20Embodied%20Labs%20Story,the%20impairment%20for%20the%20caregivers.)
In 2017, there was a unique innovation called Neuro Rehab VR where elderly individuals with neurodegenerative disorders or those undergoing physical rehabilitation after a stroke, brain damage, or spinal cord injury, can benefit from these virtual reality experiences.(source:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7918687/)
Neuro Rehab along with the Research Institute, University of Texas, Arlington developed a virtual reality glove with robot assistance to aid in stroke sufferers' rehabilitation Telehealth platforms and monitoring technologies enable in-person visits to be replaced with remote consultations, evaluations, and follow-ups. This technology can increase access to assistive device fitting, teaching, and assistance, especially in poor areas.(source:https://www.uta.edu/news/news-releases/2019/03/26/utari-neurorehabvr-unthsc)
Technological advancements in Assistive technology are likely to create lucrative opportunities for the market in upcoming years
New opportunities for increased freedom and accessibility are presented by the combination of IoT devices with assistive technologies. For instance, IoT-based AT in smart homes automates processes, tracks health, and improves safety. Another opportunity is seen in Artificial Intelligence accelerating the growth of the assistive technology market.
For instance, the goal of Ohn-Bar's work is to create artificial intelligence (AI) tools that can help people with vision impairments in a way that sounds human. To help visually impaired persons navigate their environment more securely, AI may be used in conjunction with other technology, such as sensors, to send them auditory directions.
The difficulties that conventional solutions have not yet been able to solve are being resolved by these technological advancement inventions. Creating digital ATs and supporting startups that are developing inclusive solutions present mobile operators with business possibilities that benefit society and give a previously underserved demographic group access to services. For instance, an aid for visually impaired people to listen to text in eBooks and scanned documents was created by Trestle Labs in India. Printed papers are scanned by Kibo XS using a camera, and the text is then digitalized and sent to the Kibo website for audible reading.
Since these equipment and devices are available at high prices, people don’t have that amount of purchasing power to avail of these devices. These two factors have become hurdles in the market expansion of assistive technology. In addition, regional variations in health insurance coverage and payment regulations for assistive technology can result in many people who could benefit from these devices being unable to obtain them. The exorbitant expenses impose fiscal obstacles on individuals, healthcare providers, and organizations, hence constraining the uptake and infiltration of assistive technology within the market.
For instance, the use of assistive technology (AT) was evaluated by the University of Illinois in seven areas: powered and manual mobility and independent living devices, prosthetic and orthotic devices, adapted computer technology, assistive listening and seeing devices, and augmentative and alternative communication devices. According to them, the expensive cost of various assistive technologies may still keep people with disabilities from entering the workforce, especially those who are most likely to pursue self-employment, even when employer reviews of AT accommodations were good.(source:https://news.illinois.edu/view/6367/207673)
All facets of society have been affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, but people with chronic illnesses, the elderly, and people with disabilities have particularly faced serious complications. The main hurdles noticed were service interruption, barriers to avail of the technology, and lack of regulations. Moreover, COVID-19 has hindered the dissemination of assistive devices because of infection control protocols that have limited one-on-one services and caused a lack of providers. For instance, the Food and Drug Administration made several measures for the timely availability of assistive devices.
During the pandemic under the public health responses, Assistive Technology was not considered which caused major complications and difficulties for the users. In addition to this, this technology was also considered as a nonessential service by certain governments which led to a lack of access to these services alongside the maintenance and repair of these products. For instance, in 2021 the World Health Organization (WHO), in collaboration with Monash University Australia, Center for Inclusive Policy, HelpAge International, Liliane Foundation, Africa Disability Alliance, Kabul Orthopedic Organization, and Pacific Disability Forum, undertook a global study exploring the experiences of more than 140 people who use or provide AT worldwide to understand the impacts of COVID-19 and to inform better preparation and responses to future crises. This study found people who use AT were often not included in public health responses to COVID-19, and important messages such as how to avoid transmission of the virus were often not understood, particularly by those living with hearing or vision impairment.
