Invisible obstacles for those with disabilities- Biomedical engineering student
Hello, I am a biomedical engineering student and I have a keen interest and genuine passion in making things more accesible. I am able bodied and healthy but as my grandfather aged and got parkisons, I began noticing just how much of the world wasnt made for him and how theres a greater need for innovative design in public spaces, especially transport and other public amenities. I'm interested in making medical devices or other tools/ designs, but before I can do anything I want to be as well informed as I can be on the sort of obstacles faced by people with all sorts of disabilities. I understand as someone able-bodied, I can talk alot but I'll never understand the struggle and theres alot of obstacles that I wouldn't even think to consider as someone whos never had to navigate them. I would genuinely appreciate any input or suggestions. Thankyou
