Abstract:
This paper proposes and describes a conceptual tool, namely the rehabilitation (assistive) technology (RT) product taxonomy, as a framework for analysing rehabilitation technology products and extracting demand determinants. The ultimate objective of this work is to provide demand and supply-related actors with a meaningful tool for identifying and focusing on specific aspects, which may be directly or indirectly related to existing or new products, so that demand and consumption allocation decisions can be targeted, evaluated and/or predicted.
