Assistive technology – 

Assistive technology is designed to help people who lack the motor function required to independently grip, hold, and/or lift objects or perform similar activities.

The aids that we supply and offer directly compensate for these impairments. Arrange a personal consultation with us to find out whether and how this advanced technology could meet your basic manual handling needs.

You can trust in our expertise in this area.

Following your consultation with us, we’ll discuss with you what needs to be done next and, of course, work with your healthcare provider to support you once you are actually using the respective equipment.

It’s natural to feel worried about whether you will be able to control and use this technology. However, we’ll give you all the help you need to become an experienced and safe user of your assistive aid when we meet with you to test and hand over the equipment.

Here at DSM, we stake our reputation on this promise.

What is our approach?

During personal testing with you, we like to get to know you better as a person in your environment and establish your wants and needs.

Some of the questions we look to answer with you include: !!! 

• Where do you want to use your device?
• Should the device be as large as possible, taking the size of your home into consideration, and be easy to use at a distance?
• Should the device be lightweight and portable?
• What is your current level of motor function? Do you find it easy to hold a device and can you operate it using your fingers? Do you find it easy to hold a device and can you operate it using your fingers?
• Might an alternative accessibility aid be required in the future, such as an eye tracker or head mouse?
• How might your illness progress? Will it be necessary to adapt the present communication aid?
