Care Ecosystem

Also known as: Assistive Technology Ecosystem, AT Ecosystem

A network of interconnected stakeholders—including clinicians, makers, recipients, caregivers, and organizations—who collectively support the provision, customization, and maintenance of assistive technology. Care ecosystems recognize that successful AT use depends not just on the device itself but on sustained relationships, follow-up support, and multi-stakeholder collaboration throughout the device lifecycle.
