Assistive Tech CoE
Assistive Tech
Assistive technology is one of the core area for intervention by ICFOSS. Particular focus of the intervention in the last year was on motor disability. In this year, while continuing the work last year, we shall focus on releasing more tools. Over this period ICFOSS made national and international collaborations including the MoUs signed with Ministry if Social Justice Department, Govt. of India & University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien, Austria. The technology development strategy adopted by the team was to identify a potential user and build tool sets to address the specific needs of that person. Once technology is developed for a person, the team will go for generalizing. Of this kind was the launch of T-slide Mouse by Chief Minister of Kerala on May 2018.
