Following on from my posts about surviving brain injury, I’m increasingly interested on where such a life changing experience is taking me next. My ambition still sits firmly in the wearable-tech-o-sphere (a space that is rapidly shifting from novelty to necessity). what  excites me is not just the technology itself, but its potential to reshape how we understand performance, recovery, and human capability.
It feels important, in looking forward, to acknowledge the influence of Alice Wong, who passed away late last year. Her work showed how powerful it can be when personal perspective meets systems-level thinking and real action. This underpins how I want to engage with wearable technology: forward-looking, human-centred, and designed for lasting relevance rather than short-term hype. The future of wearables will belong to those who build with intention and that’s where I see myself contributing!
Alice Wong (1974–2025) was an American disability rights activist, writer, community organiser and, in general, inspiring human being.
She dedicated her work to confronting systemic ableism and amplifying disabled voices through storytelling and advocacy.
Additionally, she wanted their a claim of being a MacArthur Fellow and a 2013 Obama appointee to the National Council on Disability, see you also founded the Disability Visibility Project in partnership with StoryCorps.
