From accessibility to inclusion

26:26 / 26:26

Listen to Rama Gheerawo, Director – The Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design, and Sashi Bhushan, Vice President - Corporate Technology, TCS, talk about the ‘human first, design second’ approach to inclusive design.

TCS, in collaboration with The Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design, Royal College of Art, UK, is pioneering innovation to make technology accessible to everyone.

In this podcast, Rama Gheerawo, Director – The Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design, and Sashi Bhushan, Vice President - Corporate Technology, TCS, explain in detail how new technology like artificial intelligence (AI) must keep in mind the needs of the millions of people worldwide who live with disabilities, and how technological interventions lead the way to make lives better for them. These products and services are designed with a 'human first, design second' approach, focusing on intersectional inclusivity and sustainability. The role of design, according to these experts, is to bring everyone onboard through the products and services delivered.

In this podcast, they elaborate on how inclusive design technology is also an opportunity to resolve ‘situational disabilities’, which are short-term issues caused by circumstances.

Tune into this conversation to understand how these experts:

Navigate the many challenges and opportunities of inclusive design
Ensure inclusive and accessible design can solve present and future problems
Work with a 'human first, design second' approach

“If you are thinking innovation and technology exists to create business, then your aim should be to leave society, humanity, life, the planet, flora and fauna and the animals in a better state than which you found it and imagine what that world would look like, so I think that’s the heart of inclusive design.”
