Assistive technology includes devices like prosthetic limbs and wheelchairs that help people perform tasks, enhance independence, and improve quality of life.
It's like a superhero sidekick that helps people, ranging from older people to those with disabilities, live their healthiest, most independent lives.

Honoured to present this simple poster about the work of MedSupplyDrive UK, a charity that delivered half a million protective equipment items to healthcare workers during the UK's COVID-19 peaks, @WestCamHub today. This story belongs to my fellow volunteers and to HCWs.

Restless leg syndrome affects up to 1 in 10 older adults.
It causes an unpleasant and overwhelming urge to move your legs.
Scientists @DonorHealthBTRU have found over 140 new genetic risk variants - and say these may point to potential treatments.

June is #AphasiaAwarenessMonth.
Here are some important findings about aphasia from the @rcslt. I've put them in a thread to help think about these one at a time. #Aphasia.

Speech & language therapists provide vital support to people with #Aphasia - a language disorder resulting from damage to areas of the brain responsible for language, which can affect a person's speech & ability to write & understand language. @SteveJamieson12 @Nick_Hewer

Happy #ScoliosisAwarenessMonth! I have had the dual privilege throughout my life to (1) receive quality care since diagnosis and (2) make my patient voice heard in hospital, research, and arts settings. 💚 to all who have made that possible.

Today marks the beginning of #StrokeAwarenessMonth. I've learned so much from stroke survivors and their families during the last few years working with @DivaManocha and team developing an assistive tech app for aphasia and related conditions. Just wanted to say thank you.

It was great fun to run a @Cambridge_Fest event last week to engage in dialogues about blood donation research with children and families 💙 It's an honour to have the opportunity to learn from diverse publics.
We had a great time at the #CamFest CAST day last weekend!
Thank you to all that joined 😀 it was great to see so many take part in our running activity 🏃♀️ and learn about or INTERVAL study and the importance of having breaks between blood donations!

Today, I chatted with lawyers, schoolchildren, patissiers, and administrators about blood donation research over iftar alongside a group of truly expert scientists (I've just started my journey).
