“Apps” and “accessibility”. For millions of aging and disabled wireless users these two words go hand in hand. The flexibility of apps allows these customers increasingly innovative ways to take advantage of the power of their wireless devices. Apps are adding a new dimension of usability to information and handset design, opening doors to new market opportunities for developers, manufacturers and service providers.

The Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center for Wireless Technologies (Wireless RERC) moderates a discussion with representatives from the wireless industry, policy makers, and consumer advocates on opportunities and challenges for developing apps to enhance access to mobile devices and services. The panel will also provide dialogue on how the new app market can address emerging needs of wireless customers with diverse ages and abilities.

Session highlights include current industry approaches and opportunities for accessible app development and storefronts, disability advocacy for universally designed mobile apps and increased industry awareness of accessible app opportunities, and a look towards the future on how regulations might impact accessible app development and their deployment onto inclusively designed handsets.
