What is Assistive Technologies ?

They are items, devices, strategies or pieces of technology used to increase the functional ability of individuals or children with disabilities.

They range from low-tech devices like chalk and board to high-tech devices like specially designed software. Some examples of such devices are reading pens, voice recognition equipment, hearing aids, prostheses, pointing devices, walkers, wheel
chairs and more. The assistive technologies are of different types based on their functional areas – existence, communication, body support, mobility, environmental interaction, education, sports and recreation.

How is it done?

  • Based on a patient’s disability and its severity, the professionals assign the right assistive technology device
  • The patient is explained in detail about the functions of the device. High-tech devices like softwares need additional briefing regarding their setups and connectivity.
  • The patient will be trained by the staff on how to insert, use and remove the devices on their own.
  • In the case of pediatric patients, parents/guardians will be given a briefing on pediatric-specific assisting devices.
  • Regular follow-up will be done to assess the patient’s functional abilities along with the devices.

A tracer is introduced into the body and its actions visualized. It is used to diagnose diseases of the heart, lung, brain, gastrointestinal tract and more. It is based on the principle that the action of the tracer material depends on the metabolic activity of the tissues.
