For someone who is blind or visually impaired, how do you get the result of a pregnancy test? Often, a blind or visually impaired person isn’t the first to know about their own test result. This is because traditionally, pregnancy tests, as well as many other health-related checks, have been inaccessible.
On this episode, we speak with Leah Shanahan about AMY, a pregnancy test that she has designed for those who are blind or visually impaired. We also catch up with Adela Buliman from Vially on the topic.
We have voice notes on Glide as well as a unique use case for meta glasses, and in tech news, we’ve got info on Zippay, gaming, and this evening’s Apple event.
