Leveraging Data-Driven Approach to Empower Assistive Technology

This is a pre-recorded presentation that is part of the 5th London Metropolitan University Student and Staff Research Conference: 'Past - Present - Future'. The conference takes place across the 2nd and 3rd July 2024.
'Leveraging Data-Driven Approach to Empower Assistive Technology' by Sabin Nakarmi
Assistive technology refers to tools, devices or software that aid in the learning experience of an individual with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). This research paper aims to explore how a data driven approach can be leveraged to empower the emerging potential of assistive technology and the impact it has in EdTech.
The study will look into how assistive technology is being used, the limited options for customizations and personalization for individuals with different physical or cognitive conditions and how a specific assistive hardware (COSMO) is being developed and used in EdTech to develop a collaborative environment to make impactful changes bridge that gap for individualized tracking and decision making.
This paper also highlights how the COSMO assistive hardware was used to determine key metrics, collect them as data, process and analyze it alongside its partner application to create a system that processes and visualizes this data for interpretation by therapists and teachers for progress tracking purposes. This assistive hardware is being used in schools, therapy and in homes to aid in learning for users with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
This research has been conducted by a KTP Associate as a collaborative effort between London Metropolitan University and Filisia Interface Ltd.
