Assistive Technologies

Making things Possible

Skoruz intend to empower people by making information accessible through innovative technology solutions. The innovative application of technology has helped people with disabilities perform essential functions on their own. From simple wheelchairs to advanced speech recognition and home automation, Assistive Technology has helped millions of people gain independence and employment.

Through Assistive technology we create an array of new devices to enable sports enthusiasts who have disabilities to play. Skoruz also focuses on  continuous respiration sensing and high-adherence, patient-friendly ambulatory monitoring. Our mission is to harness the power of algorithms and data to improve health outcomes by empowering patients and physicians with useful and actionable data.

Skoruz Devices in Assistive Technology

Assistive listening devices
(ALDs)

Help amplify the sounds you want to hear, especially where there’s a lot of background noise. ALDs can be used with a hearing aid or cochlear implant.

Augmentative and alternative communication devices (AAC)

Help people with communication disorders to express themselves. Our tool helps to transform a simple picture board to a computer program that synthesizes speech from text.

Alerting devices

Connect to a doorbell, telephone, or alarm that emits a loud sound or blinking light to let someone with hearing loss know that an event is taking place.

Speech-generating devices

Help people who have communication difficulties interact with other people more easily. These communication aids allow a user to input a word or phrase that is verbalized electronically.
AT SKORUZ

WHAT WE OFFER

Collate Data

Reading data from wearables, other sensor data, environmental data, behavior data, physiological data

Big Data Analytics

We use big data and statistical modeling to explore differences in technology usage across disability sub-populations.

Data Mining

It helps in revealing large differences in technology usage by age, race, ethnicity, education, income, and type and severity of disability.

OUR APPROACH

Define the problem and “consider” assistive technology-What does the student need to do, but can’t because of a disability or learning difference? If the student cannot adequately perform these tasks using existing strategies and accommodations, consider whether use of assistive technology tools might help.

Gather Relevant Data

About the student strengths and needs, tasks, barriers to performance, learning environments, and the student’s current level of performance in his/her customary environments.

Generate potential solutions

Based on the information collected Skoruz identify tools, strategies, and supporting services which hold promise to improve performance, increase participation, and/or increase independence.

Conduct Assistive Technology trials

Develop and implement an AT trial plan, including timelines and criteria for determining success, and collect measurable data on the impact to student performance in the student’s customary environments.

Integrate AT tools and strategies

Analyze results, determine most appropriate tools and strategies based on the trials (or whether additional trials are needed), and develop a plan to implement the recommended technology.
