Assistive technology evaluation
Compare accessibility features, input methods, and interfaces against a specific everyday task.
A BADVET DIVISION
BAD Technologies
Accessible technology, built around the people who use it.
We put veterans and their families first and welcome anyone facing similar barriers. We start with the task you want to accomplish, then look at accessibility features, devices, and software that could make it easier to do with greater independence.
CURRENT FOCUS
What we can discuss today
Tell us what you’re trying to do. We’ll discuss whether we can help and agree on scope before any work begins.
Systems integration
Review how devices and software fit together and identify steps that can be simplified.
Technology improvement
Identify what slows down an existing setup and define a practical way to test improvements.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES
What a project could look like
A simpler workstation
Compare built-in dictation and alternate input controls for writing and navigating documents.
Fewer steps between devices
Map how a document moves from phone to computer and identify a simpler way to capture and retrieve it.
A repeatable setup
Review a daily workflow, then document the settings and steps that make it easier to repeat.
FUTURE EXPLORATION
AI-assisted tools
We’re exploring where AI might help with everyday tasks such as organizing information or reducing repetitive steps. These are areas for evaluation and potential pilots. Product availability and pilot dates are still to be determined.
What should your technology do better?
Email us to start a conversation about what you need. Tell us about the task, the tools you use today, and where you get stuck. There’s no obligation to move forward.
