CIE Components in Electronics
The Institution of Engineering Technology (IET) is presenting an event about how communications and smart devices can help those with disabilities.
Technology assisting the world’s billion disabled has been clunky and expensive in the past. The speaker suffered from this growing up as a vision impaired person. Today’s means of communicating via smart devices now offers a dramatic improvement in opening up access to the digital world, whatever an individual’s limitations in terms of vision, speech, hearing, either physical or cognitive. Inclusive design of our digital products promises to bring benefits to every corner of society and may well be the solution to many problems in healthcare, social care and society at large.
