Assistive Futures emerges as an epistemically grounded, computationally ambitious initiative rethinking what it means to design technologies with, for, and led by Persons with Disabilities. We reject colonial assistive imports that lock African users into dependency, surveillance, and inaccessible proprietary ecosystems.
First fully indigenous Uganda Sign Language (USL) AI ecosystem with real-time bidirectional translation and educational tools.
Context-aware mobility intelligence including autonomous wheelchairs designed for African terrains and environments.
AI systems that interpret acoustic environments, creating computational sensory prosthesis for blind users.
Exploring interfaces beyond visual paradigms with haptic communication devices and tactile educational tablets.
eSaferide platform adapted for wheelchair-compatible vehicles and disability-aware route optimization.
Contextual health support including medication adherence companions and healthcare intake assistants.
Assistive Futures imagines a world where disability is not a site of deficit, but a site of computational creativity, design justice, and radical technological possibility.
