How Assistive Technology for Disabled Is Changing Healthcare as We Know It

Introduction

A few decades ago, the journey to the hospital would be grueling if you got a fever. You’ll have to wait in line, and who knows how long it would take for the doctor to just tell you what you already know. And how are you meant to walk to the pharmacy to buy your prescribed medication?

And now? You can call for a doctor to come to your house and buy the medicine through an app, and everything’s sorted without you even stepping out of your room. In recent years, the rapid development of assistive technology for disabled people has been mind-blowing.

You don’t even have to feel so bad when you see someone living with a disability anymore. Are we losing empathy? Perhaps. But it’s a good price to pay for people getting the healthcare they deserve.

This blog explores the ground-breaking innovations and how they reshape healthcare and daily living for disabled people.
