| description | Assistive technology is a subset of health technology. The resolution on improving access to assistive technology adopted by the 71st World Health Assembly illustrates that it is extremely important to integrate assistive technologies into healthcare system, which will help to achieve the sustainable development goal including universal health coverage. During this article, we introduce the history of the development of assistive technology, expounds that assistive technology plays an increasingly important role in health protection/care, rehabilitation treatment/training, functional compensation, environmental health and other health fields, And then we put forward suggestions on strengthening the understanding of assistive technology, improving relevant policies and systems, strengthening the construction of assistive technology service system, promoting R & D and production development, and building professional technical teams, so as to better achieve universal health coverage. |
