Technology doesn’t “repair” people it “enables” them; that’s according to Chapal Khasnabis the man leading a new World Health Organization (WHO) initiative to promote what are known as “assistive technologies.”

That could include electric wheelchairs, cochlear implants and other aids that assist people with disabilities.

The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities which was agreed 10 years ago affirms technology as a right rather than a luxury.

She began by asking Mr Khasnabis what technological development in the last decade has had the biggest impact.
