Custom solutions for disabled adults and children. Conditions like cerebral palsy, ALS, quadriplegia, etc force otherwise healthy people into isolation. Steven Hawking famously had a custom program that gave him his voice back when he lost it, but how many other people with similar conditions don't have access to that kind of technology. Every person's condition and relevant challenges is different so most solutions probably wouldn't scale.
- sterlind 6y agoWhen I had bad mobility problems, I wanted to create a rollator that converted into a lightweight power chair for when I was done walking. There are rollator/transport chair hybrids, but those still require a caregiver to push you. In an age of hoverboards and cheap electric scooters, something like this should be doable.
