A new knowledge system, BNG DATA, helps professionals select assistive technology for agricultural workers with disabilities. This tool significantly speeds up finding solutions and boosts user confidence in assistive technology choices.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural engineering
  • Rehabilitation engineering
  • Human-computer interaction

Background:

  • Limited resources exist for selecting assistive technology in agricultural settings.
  • Professionals need support to aid farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers with physical disabilities.
  • The AgrAbility Project serves agricultural workers with disabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a prototype knowledge system, BNG DATA, for selecting rural assistive technology.
  • To aid professionals in identifying and documenting appropriate assistive technology solutions.
  • To improve the process of assistive technology selection for agricultural workers.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a hypertext database of technology examples.

  • Implementation of a decision support system for identifying solution alternatives.
  • Field trials and evaluation questionnaires administered to U.S. Department of Agriculture's AgrAbility Project staff.
  • Statistical experiment to assess end-user acceptance and efficiency.

    • Main Results:

    • BNG DATA significantly reduced the time end users needed to find acceptable assistive technology solutions.
    • End users reported increased confidence in the assistive technology solutions identified using BNG DATA.
    • The system proved effective in aiding professionals in the selection of appropriate technology.

    Conclusions:

    • The BNG DATA knowledge system is an effective tool for selecting assistive technology in agricultural settings.
    • The system addresses a critical need for resources and expertise in rural assistive technology.
    • Further development and adoption of BNG DATA could enhance support for agricultural workers with disabilities.
