Case Study: Smartbox Assistive Technology improves user communication with Ignitec’s retrofit second screen

Smartbox Assistive Technology improves communication with Ignitec's retrofit second screen in 15 years of innovation

Smartbox Assistive Technology, a creator of solutions to help disabled individuals communicate, faced challenges in customizing their Grid Pad 12 tablet and in manufacturing during the pandemic. They needed to add a second screen to visually display a user's speech. The vendor Ignitec was engaged to help overcome these challenges.

Ignitec co-designed and prototyped a retrofit second screen for the tablet, assisted with user testing, and helped manufacture the new product. They also sourced an antimicrobial additive to make the device safer. The solution significantly enhanced communication for users, providing clear visibility and promoting independence in their daily lives. Ignitec's work had a highly valuable impact on the users' quality of life.
