Stakeholder Forum Participants
Participants at the Stakeholder Forum on Technology for Visual Impairment were selected as
representatives from one of five stakeholder groups identified by the T2RERC during the
development of the Demand-Pull Project. While some participants could be placed into one or
more category, they have, for the purposes of the Project, been designated into a single
classification. These categories are defined below:
- Researchers: Persons who have performed extensive research in the areas of blindness and
low vision. The research performed by these technical experts is directed towards the
technical development or enhancement of products. The RERC for Blindness and Low
Vision was a major resource in this category, as well as representation from clinicians and
technicians from universities and medical facilities.
- Technology Producers: Innovators of core technologies that are incorporated into the design
of products for the visually impaired. Participants in this category represent a company, a
research facility, or individual innovator.
- Technology Consumers: Also known as Product Producers, these are companies that acquire
technology for inclusion in the manufacture of products for the visually impaired. Many
manufacturers who participated in this Forum played a dual role as Technology Consumer
and Technology Producer.
- Product Consumers: People that use products for blindness and low vision in their day-to-day
life. Many participants were people who use the technology but this category also includes
clinicians that prescribe such technologies.
- 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.
