Details

Assistive technologies aim to increase the independence or wellbeing of disabled and older people.

This year’s 2022 to 2023 report follows a new format. It summarises the progress made in funding and uptake of assistive technology and, as an added feature, readers can access detailed information on all research activity through the NIHR Open Data website. The site includes the full list of projects funded in 2022 to 2023, which can be searched by area of interest (for instance, ‘hearing impairment’), and links to project funder webpages.

This new format will make the information and data related to funding and developments in assistive technology more discoverable online and accessible to the end-user community, including:

  • individuals with disabilities
  • health and care professionals
  • research stakeholders
