Technology Network

Aims and objectives:

Technology is developing quickly but often requires adaptation to ensure accessibility for individuals with vision and hearing impairments. We believe in the value of sharing experiences to inspire and learn from one another, enabling more people to benefit from innovative solutions.

Our focus is on the broad field of technology designed for individuals with deafblindness, both acquired or congenital. We aim to find technology that encourages self-determination, communication, independence, and entertainment.

Our activities include:

• Adapting Technology: Making existing and new technologies across various sectors, such as ICT and audiology, accessible for individuals with deafblindness.
• Gathering Insights: Collecting input and ideas from people with deafblindness to identify needs and develop technical solutions, whether through modifications or new creations.
• Advancing Research: Promoting scientific studies on haptic perception and haptic technologies.
• Sharing Resources: Share information about existing devices and applications in relation to persons with deafblindness and their involved professionals.
