Wireless Technology Optimization

Wireless technologies have transformed how we interact with the world, and for people with disabilities, they promise new ways to solve problems and overcome barriers. With a five-year, $4.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Community Living, Pitt’s School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center and Human Engineering Research Laboratories are embarking on an ambitious initiative to evaluate and improve wireless technology to optimize its use as a tool for people with disabilities.
