The increasing prevalence of disabilities in Latin America is increasing the demand for assistive devices. With more individuals in the region facing disabilities due to aging, chronic illnesses, and accidents, there is a growing requirement for advanced assistive devices. These innovations are designed to improve mobility, sensory functions, and overall quality of life for people with disabilities in Latin America.

According to the Government of Brazil report 2023, nearly 18.6 million persons aged 2 years and over in Brazil had some type of disability and 47.2% of persons with disability were aged 60 years and over. This trend underscores the importance of developing and improving devices such as mobility aids, daily living aids, and personalized medical equipment to meet diverse needs and enhance accessibility across the region.

However, the high cost of assistive devices poses substantial hurdles for individuals in developing and underdeveloped countries, especially those with limited or fixed incomes. These critical tools, which significantly enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities, frequently remain inaccessible due to profound economic disparities and scarce financial resources. Factors such as steep import fees, inadequate governmental assistance, and a shortage of affordable financing options exacerbate this issue, preventing many from obtaining essential devices like living aids, hearing aids, and mobility aids.

On the contrary, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into disabled & elderly assistive device represents a transformative leap towards a future where these devices are not only more advanced but also more personalized and accessible than ever before. AI enables assistive devices to evolve beyond static solutions, becoming dynamic and adaptable to the specific needs of each user. Through machine learning algorithms, these devices learn from user interactions, continuously improving their functionality and responsiveness.
