"Are We Creating Technology For People That Need It The Most?"
summary
Argues that designing for those with the greatest need makes better products for everyone, citing 26% of the population and a consumer market worth $8 trillion purchasing power. Gives concrete examples: ramps that help everyone, voice interfaces that restore typing for quadriplegics and must handle atypical speech patterns, and AI that can predict pressure sores and adjust cushions. Calls for lived-experience in teams so accessibility is built from ideation rather than retrofitted.
