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." Join us for this amazing episode! 🎙️🔗 https://lnkd.in/gHQEUyMT #AssistiveTechnology #Accessibility #Tech #SmartHomes #DisabilityInclusion #HumanCenteredDesign #DisabilityPride #InclusiveDesign #UniversalDesign Natalie Shearer, MET, CPACC

How do you control different things without an app? Well, part of the reason to use infrared was only the thing you were pointed to will turn on and off. Many things in the same room. We could have many. What should you feed in front of you and switch to your left and the switch to the right, and only the thing you're pointed to with your ring will turn on and off.

Launch Day has come 🎉 (and mostly gone, in a whirlwind) But if the energy & momentum of today is any indication, we have an exciting Labor Day Weekend and post-launch journey ahead of us. We build technology that is usable by everybody, by optimizing for disability first. Our mission is to improve lives - ours, yours, and the generations to come. And we couldn’t do any of it without your support. This is a surreal moment that has been 3 years in the making. And it's an honor to have you all here for it. (Major early adopter discounts on Lotus Kit pre-orders this weekend only, in case you are interested in purchasing for yourself or a loved one 🙏 ) www.getlotus.com
