Technology is one sphere with infinite subjects for research and development where despite n number of innovations, there will always remain x number of unexplored, and underfunded domains. As we are moving ahead in time, there is a need to pace up technological developments across sectors and cater to the changing needs.

Open innovation ecosystems such as EarlyBirds play a significant role in levelling up the innovation game in assistive technologies by helping businesses and public sector organisations with effective solutions.

Understanding the problem

As per the World Health Organization, there are some major hurdles preventing an improved access to assistive technologies under its Global Cooperation on Assistive Technology (GATE) initiative.

Kris Poria, co-founder at EarlyBirds says, “Birth rates are falling worldwide and, as the years go by, the global population is expected to have a larger proportion of seniors than ever before in human history…Lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and hypertension and neurogenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's also pose a grave risk to the freedom and mobility of millions. Technology, then, can be a huge factor in helping those who are the most vulnerable get back control over their life.”

AI is the way out!

Artificial Intelligence has cast a huge impact on the world of assistive technologies. The large language models have turned out to be an effective solution for those with learning disabilities as it helps them learn at their own pace.

With the help of machine learning, the data stored with healthcare facilities is being utilised to build new ways to treat patients with non-communicable diseases.

EarlyBirds helping businesses to overcoming the challenges

The Australian OSINT platform has been helping private and public organisations discover, analyse, and connect with innovators developing new-age technologies for diverse sectors.
