In the rapidly developing information age, technology has become the core force driving social progress. But when we enjoy the convenience brought by technology, we cannot ignore a special group - people with disabilities. Allowing people with disabilities to share the benefits of technology and participate equally in social life has become an issue that cannot be ignored in current social development, and has also attracted the attention of many members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. This year's National Day for Persons with Disabilities, with the theme of "Technology for Persons with Disabilities, Sharing a Better Life", has pushed this topic to a climax.
The achievements of technology assisted disability are significant. Taking the medical field as an example, the emergence of exoskeleton robots has brought hope for patients with spinal cord injuries, stroke, and lower limb motor dysfunction. Chen Chunjie, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, pointed out that exoskeleton robots can help patients establish walking patterns, exercise joints and muscles, and stimulate functional recovery. In the future, better human-computer interaction experience will further accelerate the rehabilitation process of people with disabilities, which is not only a technological victory, but also a manifestation of humanistic care.
The development space of technology assisted disability is enormous. It is not only an important way for high-tech to integrate into the field of people's livelihood, but also injects vitality into the high-quality development of the disability cause. At the same time, the usage needs of disabled and elderly people are driving technological product iteration and upgrading in reverse, forming a virtuous cycle.
In the process of technology assisted disability, social welfare organizations play an indispensable role. The continuous emergence of technological innovation achievements has brought tremendous changes to the lives of people with disabilities, and public welfare organizations are the key force to help them connect and enjoy the "last mile" of technological dividends. Public welfare organizations, with their flexibility and proximity to the grassroots, deeply understand the actual needs of people with disabilities, accurately deliver suitable technological products and services to their hands, and allow the temperature of technology to be transmitted.
To continuously promote the transformation and application of technology assisted disability achievements, on the one hand, scientific research institutions and enterprises need to increase research and development investment, develop more technology products that meet the needs of people with disabilities, reduce costs, and improve the applicability and accessibility of products; On the other hand, the government should introduce relevant policies to encourage and support technology assisted disability projects, build collaborative innovation platforms for industry university research and application, and promote the rapid implementation of scientific and technological achievements. Public welfare organizations should also continue to play a bridging and linking role, carry out various technology assisted public welfare activities, popularize scientific and technological knowledge, and enhance the ability of people with disabilities to use technology products.
Technology assisted disability is not only an innovation in technology, but also a manifestation of humanistic care. Integrating "human touch" into the sense of technology, making technology a powerful tool for people with disabilities to embrace a better life and participate equally in society. I believe that with the joint efforts of the government, research institutions, enterprises, public welfare organizations, and the whole society, the path of technology assisted disability will become wider and wider, and the lives of people with disabilities will become more exciting due to technology.
