The Ethics and Assistive Technology Survey

Assistive technologies are intended to improve the lives of people with disabilities by enabling independence and facilitating social connections. Examples of such technologies include powered wheelchairs and speech recognition software.

Professor Dr. Peter Danielson at the W. Maurice Young Centre for Applied Ethics, University of British Columbia conducts research about ethics and assistive technology. The purpose of the research is to facilitate well-informed discussion about complex issues related to ethics and scientific and technological developments.

A survey with 14 questions is now open for participation.
