Why Assistive Technology
1. To address the current and emerging need
2. To look beyond physical disability – in fact, beyond
disability
3. To diversify Prosthetics and Orthotics Sector – to be
valued more and remain relevant
4. To ensure the benefit of Universal Health Coverage
(UHC) reaches to all
5. To assist countries in implementing the Convention on
the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)

What is Assistive Technology
• It is a subset of Health
Technology
• It assists to maintain or
improve functioning
• Providers are mostly
health personnel and
• It is beyond products

Major barriers 1. Awareness – who knows the sector and its
importance – where is the evidence?
2. Policy – lack of national policies/programmes
3. Products – quality-products are overpriced,
affordable products are often of low-quality – no
middle-class here…
4. Provision – segregated, isolated and often locked in
big cities
5. Education – not SMART enough – not for all
We need to change this scenario

Action 1. Influencing policy using evidence
• Setting the research
agenda
• Encouraging
research
• Making professionals
interested in policies
and legislations
1. Cost-effectiveness – return
against investment
2. Scoping exercise -
modelling of the future need
3. Outcomes/impact of
assistive technology
4. AT and ageing – emerging
AT sector
5. Appropriate AT service
provision systems

A familiar scenario of the past Medicines sector
• A few companies, mostly for the population/country
who can afford, high-margin – low-volume
• 1977, WHO introduced the Model list of essential
medicines – a peaceful revolution in International Public
Health
• It changed the market – now most high-quality essential
medicines are available at an affordable cost
• Government invested in innovation, technology transfer
and absorbing R&D cost
