The Role of Digital Assistive Technology in Managing Functional Impairment

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Digital assistive technology (DAT) is revolutionizing the management of functional impairments by integrating advanced tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and virtual reality (VR). This paper explores the potential of DAT in addressing the needs of individuals with functional limitations, identifies barriers to adoption, and proposes strategies for enhancing accessibility, affordability, and innovation. By fostering inclusivity and impairments independence, DAT is poised to transform healthcare, education, and employment, contributing to equitable opportunities in a connected world.
