About this event
This Disability Innovation Live event, hosted by Global Disability Innovation Hub, will explore the Mobile Disability Gap - with specific emphasis on mobile as AT , mobile as data collection and mobile for information.
During this session we'll look at;
Research learnings
Role of mobiles in AT (as an enabler for digital AT)
Challenges in access & availability
Barriers of mobile (specifically in global south) including network, price point, reception
Barriers to use of tech (and how this limits the possible impact on disabled people), e.g. accessibility of the mobile itself and the technology being created for mobile use
We're all explore the impact and why this all matters - as well as the solutions to reduce the gap.
We’ll hear from a range of experts, with a focus on research and industry partnerships that are driving this conversation.
