Handsfree assistive technology (37x24)

Air date: Dec 27, 2023

I am paralysed from the chest down, have no hand functions and sit in a power wheelchair. I will share some insights on spinal cord injury and my experiences of how I work, live and travel using a power wheelchair. There are millions of people who cannot control a computer, tablet, or smartphone with their hands. Assistive technology supports the main functionalities which are needed: mouse movement and different kinds of clicks. My portfolio of hands-free assistive technology enables me every day to be active without using my hands or feet. I’m going to present solutions which make my everyday life more comfortable.
