Technologies and devices
At CanAssist, we strive to develop unique, innovative and practical technologies for people challenged by physical and intellectual disabilities. All our devices are developed in response to requests by - or on behalf of - individual clients, who cannot find a commercial technology that meets their needs.
There are three ways to view our technologies: check our Alphabetical listing, use our search engine, or browse through the eight categories listed below.
