Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

6.1K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

Area of Science:

  • Assistive Technology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • Rapid advancements in assistive technology (AT) for the blind and visually impaired.
  • Limited understanding of user perceptions, awareness, and adoption of these innovations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate awareness, adoption, and desires for AT innovations among employed individuals with blindness or low vision.
  • To identify barriers hindering the adoption of novel AT.

Main Methods:

  • Survey study conducted with 329 employed participants who are blind or have low vision.
  • Data collected on perceptions, adoption rates, and interest in novel AT over a 2-year period.

Main Results:

  • A significant portion of participants were unaware of recent AT advancements.
  • Low adoption rates of novel AT were observed, with only about one-third expressing interest.
  • Primary barriers identified: high cost, time investment for learning, and lack of adequate training and support.

Conclusions:

  • Awareness and adoption of novel assistive technologies remain low among employed blind or low-vision individuals.
  • Addressing barriers such as cost, usability, and support is crucial for increasing AT uptake.
