The term AT refers to any device or software that helps a person with a disability does something they cannot do on their own. People use AT at home, in schools, and on the job. For example, a student with a visual impairment might use a slant board to assist with writing or a talking calculator when working on math. In the classroom, a student with a motor impairment might use flexible furniture or an exercise ball to improve gross motor movement. Students with speech disabilities benefit from assistive technologies that support communication such as a stuttering app, voice-to-text programs and word prediction software.
Market Dynamics:
The global population is aging and the demand for assistive technologies to assist the geriatric population is rising. Mobility aids, hearing aids, and vision enhancement devices help older individuals maintain their independence and quality of life through the use of assistive technology. Increasing government initiatives for the development of assistive technologies is expected to drive the growth of global assistive technologic market over the forecast period. For instance, on June 23 2023, Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) launched the National Center for Assistive Health Technologies, IIT Madras (NCAHT-IITM), an initiative of the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR), to boost research and development in assistive technologies.
However, cost is a significant market constraint for assistive technology (AT). Numerous AT solutions, such as sophisticated prosthetics, communication devices, and mobility aids, can be costly, thereby making them unaffordable for some people with disabilities. The costly development and manufacturing costs of AT devices contribute to their inflated prices. Insufficient insurance coverage and a lack of funding options further impede access to assistive technology.
