access to healthcare

In April 2020, the American Association on Health & Disability (AAHD) conducted a survey to assess COVID-19's impact on access to healthcare for adults with a range of disabilities. This new comparative report complements their previous survey publications. The report analyzes survey results by type of disability and examines differences/similarities in disability group responses during COVID-19.

This report explores innovations that have the potential to improve quality of life for Americans who live with physical or cognitive burdens due to aging or disability. The report identifies six opportunities for emerging technologies to help Americans live longer, healthier, and more independent lives. These six areas are: Key activities of daily living, Cognition, Communication and social connectivity, Personal mobility, Transportation, and Access to healthcare.
