Every year, assistive technology (AT) advances, bringing new and innovative solutions to improve accessibility. In 2024, notable developments included a smart cushion for wheelchairs that adjusts weight distribution to prevent pressure-related injuries, a phone app that amplifies whispered or impaired speech, and glasses with self-driving technology that function similarly to a guide dog. While these devices may be costly, ongoing research and development continue to expand possibilities, making the future of AT even more promising.
