DG10--Dedicated Fiber Internet-Rehabilitation Clinic

devices for rehabilitative and assistive technology purposes in the Polytrauma, Assistive Technology Lab, and other rehabilitation areas on the 2nd floor of Building 38. Assistive Technology (AT) refers to any product, equipment, or system designed to help individuals with disabilities enhance their functioning and participate in daily activities. Smart devices are a subset of AT that can include digital tools such as environmental control systems, tablets, and computers that assist users with tasks like communication, navigation, and accessibility. Environmental control systems are a range of technologies that enable individuals with significant physical disabilities to operate various devices and appliances in their environments; elements such as lights, doors, and bed controls can be controlled through specialized interfaces that accommodate their specific needs. These devices require reliable and fast internet to work at their full potential and allow patients to perform tasks independently and effectively and cannot be connected to the VA Network.
