AT&T and Aira are developing and testing a solution designed to help people who are blind or have low vision better manage their prescription medication. The companies are working through the AT&T Foundry to develop the solution.
Nearly 60% of Americans take prescription drugs, so accurately reading the dosage instructions and other information printed on their labels is vital.
Aira develops transformative remote assistive technology that connects the blind with a network of certified agents via wearable smart glasses and an augmented reality dashboard. The agents serve as visual interpreters for people who are blind, helping them accomplish a wide range of tasks and activities from navigating busy streets or airports to running a marathon or reading a bedtime story.
