About Assistive Technology Recursos de sensibilización
Tecnología de Apoyo es un conjunto de recursos de sensibilización creados para un kit de herramientas de datos sobre tecnología de apoyo. El estilo de ilustración pone énfasis en la inclusión y la accesibilidad. Figuras lineales muestran a personas utilizando dispositivos de apoyo, destacando el valor de estos dispositivos en la vida cotidiana. Un marco semicircular une a las figuras y actúa como metáfora visual de apertura y participación. El marco incompleto sugiere que la inclusión es un proceso continuo. Se produjeron cuatro manuales en formato A4, pancartas y una caja de luz siguiendo los estándares de accesibilidad.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The style of the illustration is an effective visual representation of the assistive technology data Toolkit because it emphasizes inclusivity and accessibility. The focus on the interior elements and the use of linear components depicting people using assistive technology serve to highlight the significance of recognizing and valuing these devices as integral parts of everyday life. Additionally, the semicircular frame acts as a visual metaphor for openness and participation.

- Production Technology
- The main image was created with Illustrator, while the publications were designed using Adobe InDesign, following the guidelines of the international organization for standardization to ensure accessibility for impaired audiences.
- Design Challenge
- The main goal was to present the advancing data collection on the Assistive Technology toolkit, which includes four tools addressing key questions: the population's unmet needs for assistive technology, the country’s capacity to meet these needs, the impact of assistive technology on users, and progress by Member States in implementing the World Health Assembly Resolution 78.1. This toolkit helps countries collect data to inform policy, raise awareness, and garner support for assistive technology. Its target audiences include policymakers, researchers, associations, assistive technology users and families, service managers, experts, and development partners.
- Research
- The research was based on the need to represent the rapid assistive technology assessment (rATA), which is a population-based household survey that collects self-reported information from people regarding their access to assistive technology, measuring the need, demand, and barriers. The tool can be used alone, or incorporated into other surveys and/or, or in national censuses.
- Inspiration
- The semicircle framing the illustration of assistive technology users serves symbolic and functional purposes. Visually, it unites the figures, suggesting belonging and dynamism with openness. Symbolically, it signifies acceptance, inclusion, and respect for diverse human experiences. Its incomplete form also represents continuity and potential for change, emphasising that inclusion is an ongoing, evolving process open to new perspectives.
- Project Duration
- The project started in March 2025 in Geneva and is still in the process of finalisation. The design process is made in Spain.
- Operation Flow
- All PDF documents were evaluated and found to comply with accessibility standards, particularly PDF/Universal Accessibility and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, using the PDF Accessibility Checker tool.
