Medical insurance companies provide half of the claim amount for robotic surgeries. How it is expected them to cover the full cost of the assistive equipment? IRDA shall take up the matter with insurance companies to include reimbursement of full cost of the robotic surgeries. Robotic surgeries reduce the recovery time and less number of days of hospital stay. Use of new technology shall be encouraged by insurance companies.

Feedback on Assistive Technology (Standards and Accessibility) Rules, 2025 I appreciate the initiative of DEPwD in drafting these rules to promote accessibility and quality for persons with disabilities. To strengthen the framework, I suggest ensuring affordability and easy availability of assistive devices at local levels, simplifying certification for innovators, and including user representation in standard-setting processes. Regular awareness and training programs should also be part of implementation. Thank you:)

Making standards is a technical matter. Good engineers will make everything possible with AI tools. AI can make-up for low vision or loss of vision by creating virtual images. AI tools with touch and motion sensors directly controlled by brainwaves can create assistive movement of arms and legs. Use of AI in assistive technology can create innumerable possibilities. Yet, everything comes for a cost. At a premium. Who would bear the cost of development of assistive technology? Who will make the technology accessible and affordable for everyone? No businessman will do it. Hospitals are profit centres. They will certainly not do it. So, government will have to do it with taxpayers money.

Government can make rules. Government can get deveped assistive technology. But which technology can really help the disabled in the situations shown in attached picture. This is popular Central Market of Lajpat Nagar. Whole of pedestrian walkway is uneven and encroached upon. It is difficult to walk even for a normal person. The people moving on the roads, entering into buses and metro trains do not follow any civic sense and just push everyone else. What a disable person would do with whatever assistive technology? Government shall first do something forcefully to make citizens from just crowd to well behaved civilians

The provisions of grievance rederessal, insurance coverage and replacement shall apply to all categories of assistive technology, including essential items is the important point taken into consideration. I think in point no.14 on page no. 4 the spelling of dysfuntional and dysfunctions should be disfuntional and disfunctions respectively. The government shall ensure that assistive technology is integrated into rehabilitation and social welfare schemes. At the end the regulation creates the much needed balance between quality and availability so that final goal is achieved.

The Draft Accessibility Standards for the Assistive Technology Sector should focus on affordability, interoperability, and innovation to ensure equitable access for all persons with disabilities. Standards must promote indigenous R&D, open-source designs, and integration with digital public infrastructure to enhance usability across devices. A national registry of certified assistive technologies should be created to ensure quality and transparency. Furthermore, capacity-building programs, inclusive design training, and public-private partnerships can accelerate accessibility innovation. These measures will help India become a global leader in inclusive technology, realizing the vision of Accessible India, Inclusive Bharat.
