Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Health Policy
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • Assistive technology (AT) is increasingly vital for individuals with disabilities, chronic diseases, and the elderly, enhancing independence and inclusion.
  • The demand for AT is rising globally, particularly in low-middle-income countries like India, where a significant gap exists between needs and access.
  • Global initiatives by the WHO and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasize the importance of equitable AT access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the current need for and access to assistive technology (AT) in India.
  • To identify the challenges hindering AT service provision in the country.
  • To review existing AT initiatives and propose recommendations for improvement.

Main Methods:

  • This article is a review and policy analysis.
  • It examines the current landscape of AT needs, access, and challenges in India.
  • It discusses relevant global and national initiatives and proposes recommendations.

Main Results:

  • There is a substantial and growing need for assistive technology (AT) in India, with a significant gap in access.
  • Numerous challenges impede the effective delivery and accessibility of AT services across the nation.
  • Existing initiatives, while present, require strengthening and better integration within the healthcare system.

Conclusions:

  • India needs to develop evidence-based AT policies and strategies, integrating them within the healthcare delivery system.
  • Collaboration between government, non-government sectors, and industries is essential for improving AT services.
  • Addressing the AT need and access gap is crucial for achieving social inclusion and aligning with national and international development goals.
