Freedom now just a touch away.
People use the expression, “My hands are tied,” to dramatize their inability to take action. For people with disabilities however this expression is an agonizing truth. Their hands, fingers, thumbs, arms, tongues, bodies and legs are often “tied” due to spinal cord injury, brain injury and the effects of so many debilitating diseases.Freedom of movement would be the ultimate dream come true. Next best is what Touchdream (and you!) can do right here, right now — provide technological tools that can transform day-to-day quality of life with just a touch.
Today’s solution is the iPhone and you.
Touchdream founder and quadriplegic human Dave Watson experienced life-changing freedom when he acquired an Apple iPhone. Its vast capabilities were instantly accessible thanks to its easy touch and slide operation. Says Dave, “I don’t have to click through tons of menus to get what I need and it only requires a gentle touch which, frankly, is all I have.”Dave has come to rely heavily on his iPhone. It’s his calendar, notebook, video camera, laptop, map, phone and his lifeline. Says Dave, “This ‘phone’ is literally a quad’s dream.”
