About the Summit
This collaborative, full-day working conference is designed to bridge the gap between technological innovation and the everyday realities of end-users in the disability community. Guided by a co-design philosophy, we aim to bring together people with disabilities, healthcare professionals, academic researchers, tech industry leaders, and state/federal stakeholders.
The summit will focus on solutions while addressing the dual nature of AI in disability care—exploring its power to transform assistive technology and rehabilitation engineering while confronting critical risks surrounding trust, privacy, and reliability. Together, we will identify critical implementation gaps, foster cross-sector research partnerships, and author a post-conference strategic report setting a community-driven agenda for ethical, accessible AI to guide development of assistive and rehabilitation technologies.
