Dubai, United Arab Emirates – The 5th edition of AccessAbilities Expo in Dubai, October 9-11, will bring the widest range and latest assistive technology offerings to the Middle East region, home to more than 50 million people with special needs. Visitors from the UAE and the wider Middle East were introduced to new heights with a range of latest technologies and latest innovations.

Across three pavilions at the Dubai World Trade Centre, the bustling International Disability Show will be a playground for global and regional manufacturers of assistive devices and rehabilitation products to attract attention and win the hearts and minds of the disabled community. This year’s exhibition space and product display are larger than ever, and 300 exhibitors from 50 countries will participate.

The largest accessible technology-focused platform in the Middle East, Africa and the Indian subcontinent, it is expected to attract approximately 12,000 visitors from the disability community from all 22 countries in the Middle East region. A large number of the more than 4,500 assistive technologies available for various disabilities will be showcased during the show.

All experts agree that the UAE has been one of the best countries in the world for providing unwavering support for people with disabilities and providing them with the best technology to live independently. They also expressed their pleasure to participate in AccessAbilities Expo to reach out to the 50 million disabled community in the Middle East and support them by bringing them technology and innovative products.

Andy Faulkner, CEO of Topland, the MENA region’s leading provider of products and services aimed at improving accessibility for venues, establishments and businesses, said the company will be showcasing its latest assistive products and giving a presentation on visual Doorbells, telephone alarm systems and vibrating fire monitors to assist those who are deaf or hard of hearing. The brand ambassador will bring the world’s first smart walking stick WeWALK. On display will be floating beach wheelchairs and accessible beach mats for people with reduced mobility to use seaside facilities.

Sunflower, a simple volunteering tool for people with disabilities such as autism, dyslexia, and hearing and vision impairments, launched by Dubai Airports and Emirates at AAE-2022, will also be in focus. He said there had been an increase in public and private sector inquiries seeking accessibility help and advice over the past 18 months due to the growth of the accessible tourism sector.

Ray Gilani, managing director of Gilani Mobility, said the disabled community in the GCC region could soon look forward to innovative wheelchair adaptations designed especially for them. This makes them more independent, free and comfortable in their personal space.

BIOBASE manager Robin Lin said his company will showcase its wheelchairs and hospital beds to help disabled people move and sleep normally. He said that the UAE has always done a good job of supporting people with disabilities everywhere, much to the admiration of the public.

project. Ahmed A. Saleh, manager of Life World Medical Supplies, said new technologies that people with disabilities will soon expect include enhanced imaging systems, smart robots, and wearable technology and simulation platforms. Artificial intelligence will soon be part of everything, he added. His mobility company is preparing to launch a hand bike with a housing and a motorized wheelchair.

The highly anticipated exhibition is under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports, Emirates Airline and Group Chairman and CEO held.

Starkey continues to focus on improving hearing aid performance in noisy environments by using more sophisticated machine learning and artificial intelligence strategies to mimic human performance, said Giscard Bechara, managing director of Starkey Middle East and Africa. Now the opportunity for processing in hearing aids is not just to amplify the sounds in a way that mimics the sensors and sensor cells in the ear, but also to preprocess that signal in a way that helps your brain understand those sounds and that thing.

The magic happens in the brain, understanding conversations, reducing noise and helping us pay attention to things we care or should care about. People with determination are more likely to understand speech, reduce noise, and go about their daily lives. Evolv AI hearing aids can perform up to 55 million personalized adjustments per hour. Edge Mode puts the power of AI at your fingertips, allowing patients to access alternative settings for challenging listening environments.

Globally, 15% of the population suffers from some form of mental and physical disability. By 2050, one in six people globally will be over 65, rising to one in four in Europe and North America. People with disabilities are increasingly using assistive devices to gain functional capabilities that would otherwise be difficult to achieve. According to the World Health Organization, by 2030, more than 2 billion people will need at least one assistive device, such as a hearing aid, wheelchair or memory aid. Together with friends and family, the annual disposable consumption power of the disability market exceeds US$13 trillion in global income. However, a WHO study showed that in several countries only 5% to 15% of people who need disability devices have access to them. By 2030, the global market for assistive technology for the disabled and elderly is expected to grow to nearly $50 billion in value.
