Hoppen -Digital Assistive Technology (DAT)
HOPPEN, a company committed to people with disabilities, has developed the DTA MediaScreen-Accessibility, which consists of deploying so-called accessibility functionalities on tablets in the room to enhance the daily life of users. HOPPEN Group research and development teams work daily with ergotherapists and users with disabilities to develop and improve the functionality of DTA MediaScreen-Accessibility solution. The aim is to give more autonomy and dignity to people with multiple disabilities, and to support medical and social professionals and carers. This project was supported by the ministerial delegation for digital health (DDH) and the digital health agency (DHA).
