The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-backed plan that provides financial and service benefits to people who experience disabilities. The NDIS helps fund research, development, and innovation in the disability insurance sector to assist those who need help getting around, walk or operate a mobility device, or take up a hobby. Covered under the NDIS are five technologies: telemedicine, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, wearable robotics and social media. These five technologies can be seen as being able to accommodate multiple needs with greater impact than others. To learn more about these five technologies and how they may be incorporated into your company’s NDIS strategy, we spoke with industry experts. Read on for an insider’s view…
Telemedicine
Telemedicine is the transfer of information and skills between people who have the ability to communicate with each other through some form of electronic device. It has been used in multiple industries such as education, medical, and even business communication. Telemedicine can be used from a mobile device, laptop, or desktop. It is not only transferrable between people with disabilities; it is also possible for people without disabilities to use a smartphone as a relay partner.
Virtual Reality
VR is being used to develop VR and AR technology to assist with Augmented and Virtual Reality (AVr) and Mixed Reality (MR) capabilities. The core technology in VR is the connection between the device and the client’s brain, which is what enables the user to feel as if they are looking through the device’s eyes. VR can be used to enhance the senses, give a third-person perspective, or provide a “first-person” view of a scene. It can also be used to help people with disabilities navigate an environment or interact with others.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a method of computer programming that can “see” information and make decisions based on that information. AI can also “think,” orarez, about different scenarios and make actions based on those scenarios.
Wearable Technology
Technology is moving towards wearable devices, which can be worn like a bracelet or hand-held device, or “bundles,” that sense movement and send notifications and other signals to your wrist or hand.
Social Media
Social media platforms and influencer marketing are now a major source of traffic for businesses. With the advent of social media marketing platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, businesses can interact with their followers and make purchases through those platforms, even if they don’t have a physical address for them.
