Technology opens new doors to accessible living

Recent advancements in technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), brain-computer interfaces and bionic engineering are offering renewed hope and expanding possibilities for people living with disabilities.

China's 2025 statistical bulletin on the development of the cause of people with disabilities reported that 1.487 million people with disabilities received basic assistive devices last year.

For 51-year-old Xu Min from Suzhou, east China's Jiangsu province, technology has done more than improve daily life; it has restored her confidence and sense of possibility.
