Digital Assistive Technology as a Key Enabler to Assisted Living

Globally, it is estimated that 2.5 billion people need access to one or more assistive products or devices, and this number is likely to rise to above 3.4 billion by 2050. In May 2022, the WHO and UNICEF jointly launched a landmark Global Report on Assistive Technology (GReAT), which provides a clear roadmap with recommendations that, when implemented, can address global challenges in terms of access to assistive products and making universal health coverage inclusive for all people, including delivering on our obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with a Disability and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The focus of this presentation addresses the conditions required to create a much-needed step-change in our approach to assistive technology and how Ireland can shift to being a global leader in the field, including through its current collaboration with the World Health Organization.

The Evolution of Voice Assistants and AI

Imagine living in the 1960s and encountering the idea of speaking to a machine—one that could understand you and respond.
Back then, such a concept would have seemed pure science fiction. Fast forward to today, and voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have become integral parts of our daily lives, embedded in our smartphones, smart speakers, and even our cars.The evolution of voice assistants and AI has been nothing short of remarkable, transitioning from IBM's Shoebox in the 1960s to the modern-day, ever-present digital companions we rely on today. This advancement is not just about convenience. Voice assistants offer significant advantages for individuals with disabilities, such as real-time sign language translation and hands-free access to information.
