What is assistive technology?

According to the World Health Organization, assistive technology (AT) is a term covering the systems and services related to the delivery of assistive products and services. AT maintains or improves an individual’s functioning and independence, thereby promoting their well-being.

Access to and the use of AT lessens the need for formal health services and long-term caregiving. It enables individuals to live independent, healthy and dignified lives and participate in everyday activities. Without AT, people are frequently excluded from society and kept in poverty. This directly increases the impact of disability on the individual, families, and society.

Assistive products come in many forms and include items such as wheelchairs, prostheses, hearing aids, and many more. Worldwide, more than 1 billion people are in need of at least 1 assistive product. Yet, today, only 1 in 10 people have access to assistive products. This need is predicted to double by 2030.

Interview about HabilUp assistive technology

Ubique Tech’s co-founder, Hassan Lahlou, is interviewed by Josh Anderson with the INDATA Project at Easterseals Crossroads. During the interview, Hassan shares the personal story behind the inception of Ubique Tech.

Originally created for children with cerebral palsy, HabilUp is designed to help children have fun while doing their physical rehabilitation exercises at the same time. Today, HabilUp is used by both children and adults with physical and motor disabilities. Hassan also discusses what Ubique Tech is up to today and its plans for the future!
