STAKE HOLDER FORUM ON WHEELED MOBILITY
Attendee - Contact Information
Attendees at the Forum were selected as representatives from one of
five stakeholder groups identified by the T2RERC in the
development of the Demand-Pull Project.
The Wheeled Mobility categories are defined as:
- Technical Experts: Persons who have per- formed extensive
research in the areas of wheeled mobility products. The research performed by
Technical Experts is directed towards the technical development or enhancement
of products. The RERC on Wheeled Mobility was a major resource in this
category, as well as representation from clinicians and technicians from
health care suppliers and medical facilities.
- Technology Producers: Innovators of core technologies that
are incorporated into the design of wheeled mobility products. Participants
in this category represent a company, a research facility, or individual
innovator.
- Technology Consumers: Also known as Product Producers, are
companies that acquire technology for inclusion in the manufacture of wheeled
mobility products. Many manufacturers who participated in this Forum played a
dual role as Technology Consumer and Technology Producer.
- Product Consumers: People that use wheeled mobility products
in their day to day life. Many participants were people that use wheelchairs
or scooters, as well as clinicians that prescribe wheeled mobility products.
- Resource Providers: Resources to the industry as third party reimbursement
suppliers, government agencies involved in products for persons with disabilities,
community service suppliers and national agencies.
While some attendees could be placed into one or more category, they have,
for the purposes of the Project, been designated into a single classification
listed below.
