The use of disability devices aids in the prevention of secondary health problems and impairments
Disability
devices and technologies preserve or improve an individual's functioning and
independence, allowing them to participate in activities and improve their
overall well-being. These devices also aid in the prevention of impairments and
secondary health problems. Wheelchairs, prostheses, visual aids, hearing aids,
and specialized computer software and hardware that improve mobility, hearing,
vision or communication capacities are examples of disability devices. As a
result, in the near future, a lack of accessibility to disability
devices is expected to be a major factor driving up demand for
disability devices.

What is the purpose of assistive devices?
Assistive
devices are external devices that are designed, manufactured, or adapted to
help a person perform a specific task. Many people with disabilities rely on
assistive devices to perform daily tasks and participate actively and
productively in community life.
Assistive
devices for the elderly and disabled are rehabilitative devices that provide
additional accessibility to people with cognitive difficulties, impairments,
and disabilities.
These
medical technologies benefit disabled and elderly patients by improving quality
of life and health outcomes, assisting in independent living, and lowering
healthcare costs by reducing the cost of manual labor in assisting patients.
The medical technology industry has seen tremendous growth and development in
terms of efficiency and features over the years. Furthermore, medical devices
for the disabled and elderly include all means available to the
non-self-sufficient population.
