I recently had a fascinating conversation with Dhaval Patel founder and CEO of Lotus (Techstars'23) on the "Pushing Forward with Alycia" disability podcast! Dhaval is dedicated to creating accessible technology, as demonstrated by his innovative smart home device. Lotus was born from extensive research and a human-centered design approach, with a mission to build technology that is useful to everyone by optimizing for disability first. LOVE this! Dhaval shares his journey with disability and how his experiences led him to develop Lotus, a wearable ring that controls home appliances with a simple point, requiring no apps or rewiring. Quote from Dhaval: "Our journey over the past year has been incredible. Each story shared, each listener impacted, and every milestone achieved has reinforced our mission to transform challenges into opportunities. Keep pushing forward and never give up."
