Internet of Things has the potential to become an enabler for Assistive Electronics devices by increasing accessibility support and services for people with disabilities. Assistive Technology refer to devices and technologies designed to improve the quality of life and independence of individuals with disabilities or special needs. These devices can range from simple tools to complex systems and are tailored to address specific challenges faced by people with disabilities in various aspects of daily living, including mobility, communication, sensory perception, and environmental control. Assistive Technology and Assistive Electronics devices have had a positive impact on domains such as healthcare, education, independent and assisted living, mobility and navigation in public spaces among others. Assistive Electronics devices help differently-abled people, who have difficulty speaking, typing, writing, seeing, hearing among others. Assistive Technology Devices aims at easing the connectivity and communication for individuals with sensory, physical or cognitive difficulties, impairments and disabilities to enable them to fully participate in society.

Assistive Electronics and Devices

Assistive Electronics is a term for assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities and the elderly. Assistive devices for the elderly and the physically impaired can restore confidence, improve mobility and provide peace of mind to their families, knowing that their loved one is safe. Assistive Electronics products are designed to maintain, improve and enable an individual’s independent day to day functioning, both for the elderly and for people with disabilities. Mistral has the requisite skills for design and development of connected assistive technology devices designed specifically to help people with vision loss or other disabilities.

The Mistral team brings invaluable experience in SoC, OS, sensor integration, testing and system validation to the customer’s concept for an Assistive Technology product enabling them to assist their customers to fully realize their potential through the latest in innovative Assistive devices. Some of the Assistive Technology devices designed by us include portable scanners for the visually impaired, low-vision aids, braille tablets, audio aids among others.
