At this year’s CES, the annual trade show organized by the Consumer Technology Association, companies from around the globe showcased innovative products and technologies that have the potential to change the world.
Assistive technology proved to be a major focus at the annual convention as smaller, more advanced tech improves the quality of life for people with — or without — disabilities.
According to the CDC, more than 61 million U.S. adults, or approximately one in four, live with some type of disability that affects their standard of life. Companies are becoming increasingly aware of the potential market share. As the need increases, the impetus to design, create and improve technology becomes a greater financial interest for companies inside and outside the traditional assistive technology space.
