ABOUT THE AT DATABASE AND WIKI

George Kayange

The Assistive Technology Innovation Wiki is a database and wiki that showcases assistive technology (AT) innovations and other related accessibility matters for people with disabilities.

This initiative is spearheaded by George Mwika Kayange, a doctoral researcher at Loughborough University in London and a member of the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP). The project is an extension of the work he has been involved in for many years in the AT sector, particularly in Southern Africa.

Although this project is indirectly linked to George’s doctoral research, it is also part of his long-term goal of establishing a global forum for AT innovations. The Assistive Technology Innovation Forum (ATIF) brings together AT sector stakeholders to exchange information and experiences on various topics related to accessibility and AT access for people with disabilities and other AT users.

The forum is estimated to launch by December 2025. In the meantime, you can join the LinkedIn group.

ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY GUIDE

While working with SAFOD, George Kayange managed a project—dubbed AT-Info-Map—that developed a mobile app to map AT products and services in Southern Africa. One of the project’s key outputs was an AT Guide developed with the support of the University of Washington to showcase various AT products and services available on the market, both low-tech and high-tech. The AT Guide describes each AT type and category and how it supports people with disabilities and other AT users.
