The Power of Assistive Technology

from FINCIRCLE · host Edgar Angeles

Today, only 1 in 10 people in need have access to assistive technology due to high costs and a lack of awareness, availability, trained personnel, policy, and financing. Without assistive technology, people are often excluded, isolated, and locked into poverty, thereby increasing the impact of disease and disability on a person, their family, and society. Assistive technology enables people to live healthy, productive, independent, and dignified lives, and to participate in education, the labour market and civic life.  Moreover, "Assistive technology" reduces the need for formal health and support services, long-term care and the work of caregivers. In view of these, we've invited the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Abby by Gogotech, Mr. John DeBenedette to walk us through the value proposition of the "Assistive Technology" to our society as a whole.  As such, we can also help John and his team on this wonderful initiatives for people with disabilities by joining or referring us to someone who can assist us on raising some funds: Community Round https://wefunder.com/gogotech Moreover, you can contact John directly on the following:  Email [email protected] Mobile US: +1 202 961 3724 Mobile TH: +66 (0) 81 658 7338 Skype john.debenedette Website www.gogotech.co
