Medical technologies have transformed the nature of doctor-patient relationships, definitions of health an disease, and the spaces and rhythms of clinical practice. Moving beyond heroic diagnostics and therapeutic devices, this conference spotlights how ordinary objects - speculums, prothetics, hearig aids - have shaped medicine's engagement with technology.
The NYU Center for Disability Studies is documenting the experiences of disabled and chronically ill people during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Disabled people, especially people of color and those living in nursing homes or other congregate housing, have been at greatest risk of infection and death from COVID-19. In building a publicly-accessible archive, we collaborate with community members to preserve memories, stories, artworks, and other materials in a range of accessible formats.
Deaf Culture and Hearing Culture, both have established ways of communicating among each other. When you want to mix and mingle, members of both groups need to find new shared channels. We present design considerations leading to our playful prototypes, serving as icebreakers and dialog starters. We rely on open source software to create open source hardware.
