Description

Listen to representatives from the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC) discuss issues around Accessible Medical Equipment.

Hear about: new data from the RERC on Accessible Medical Instrumentation national consumer needs assessment survey on medical equipment; strategies for getting accessible medical equipment into offices of health providers, existing resources for accessible equipment (exam tables, chairs, scales, mammography); using tools to communicate with providers about your accessible equipment needs; and the project’s next steps - designing new equipment, effecting change within the medical equipment and health care industry and health care public policy.
