Did you know one of the top methods of communication today was actually invented by Robert Weitbrecht, a physicist with a disability?

Weitbrecht was deaf from birth, and in 1960 he invented the teletypewriter which revolutionized communication for those with hearing and speech impairments. It also laid the foundations for SMS messaging - something anyone with a cell phone likely uses several times a day today!

Aging in place has become more and more common over the past decade.

At Inglis, assistive technology helps people live more independently, stay connected, and engage more fully in their communities.

Smart home technology: from voice-activated lights and thermostats to automated doors, locks, and environmental controls, can increase safety, reduce reliance on caregivers for everyday tasks, and give people greater control over their own homes and lives, allowing your older relatives to age where they've always called home.

Innovation isn't just about new technology—it's about creating more choice, freedom, and independence for everyone.
