EBI Newsletter – Fall 2021

A newsletter page titled "EAST BAY INNOVATIONS The InSight" from Fall 2021. The main article, titled "MOVING FORWARD," announces the launch of a pilot Assistive Technology program designed to help EBI consumers live independently and safely. The text defines assistive technology as tools that help individuals overcome barriers to independence, ranging from simple magnifying glasses to complex eye-gaze communication systems. Funded by the Fremont Bank Foundation and a private donor, the program provides personalized sensors, monitors, and devices based on individual needs. Listed use cases include remote monitoring systems, medication dispensers with visual and audio reminders, intelligent inactivity sensors, and smart kitchen safety switches. The page features two accompanying photographs: * **Top right photo:** A smiling man wearing a pink button-down shirt, glasses, and a red baseball cap stands indoors next to a window, leaning toward a small grid-based electronic communication device. * **Bottom left photo:** A woman using a motorized wheelchair equipped with a chin-controlled joystick sits at a desk, looking forward at a desktop computer monitor. The image is captioned "Photo Credit Tobii Dynavox".
