Abstract

This extended abstract delves into the transformative impact of technological innovations on disability products, illustrating how advancements are bridging the gap between traditional assistive devices and modern technology. By examining key developments across various domains such as mobility aids, communication tools, and sensory enhancements, this study elucidates the profound shift towards more inclusive and empowering solutions for individuals with disabilities. The emergence of technological innovations marks a paradigm shift in the design and functionality of disability products, offering unprecedented levels of customization, adaptability, and user-centricity. From smart prosthetics equipped with sensor arrays and AI algorithms to wearable devices integrating biofeedback mechanisms, the landscape of assistive technology is undergoing a remarkable evolution. These advancements not only enhance the functional capabilities of users but also foster a sense of autonomy and independence. In conclusion, the integration of technological innovations with local knowledge holds immense potential to bridge the gap between traditional disability products and modern solutions, fostering greater inclusion, independence, and empowerment for individuals with disabilities. By embracing a collaborative and user-centric approach, stakeholders can harness the transformative power of technological innovations to create a more accessible and inclusive society for all.
