Support technology
Assistive technologies are a term used to designate all provisions created to facilitate and promote the integration and participation, particularly of people with reduced mobility, the elderly and those suffering from non-communicable diseases, in everyday life in the private sector and in the workplace. The primary objective of technical aids (also known as assistive products) is to maintain or improve the mobility and autonomy of individuals, thus contributing to their well-being. They enable people to live with dignity, in good health, to be productive and independent, to train and participate in the job market and civic life.
