Mobile Rehabilitation and Mobile Assistive Tech w/ Ted O'Meara
Details
Mobile Rehab and Assistive Tech is a discussion and survey of many different disabilities and afflictions and how researchers have and will improve the lives of those affected by introducing new techniques through mobile technology. This talk will focus less on the technical aspects of mobile rehabilitation and assistive technology, but will be more directed to how we can make the lives of disabled populations better through their interactions with software.
Ted O'Meara is a Baltimore-based user experience and application development consultant with a heavy focus on HCI (human-computer interaction). He has worked with many top-tier enterprise, corporate clients and startups, but in his academic life, he is truly excited about creating software for those who need it the most. This passion has led him conduct academic research on mobile stroke rehabilitation, and complete several projects directed to mobile assistive software for the disabled.
