Wireless technology facilitates independence for people with speech impairments and limited mobility
Technology to empower people who have impaired speech and mobility as a consequence of illness or a stroke to live independently has been developed by University of Aberdeen scientists, and was presented today at the British Science Festival 2012. The software allows the user to assign simple gestures to actions they would like to be performed in their home – so for example a wave of the hand could action the curtains to open or a 'thumbs up' could switch the lights on in a particular room. Wireless communication technologies –such as Bluetooth – are used to link the software to devices in the home.iansyst Showcasing the latest developments in assistive technology on stand B130 at BETT 2013, iansyst will be launching azzapt – a new cloud-based service which removes barriers to accessing books, learning materials and text on the move. iansyst will also be featuring a line-up of new products including CapturaTalk for Android TM - a literacy support tool that helps build reading, writing and note taking skills; and the Earlbright eLearning Portal , specifically designed to work as a companion for students who receive one on one training from iansyst.
