Well, I beg to disagree. Firstly, not everybuddy can afford Apple watch and secondly, a successful product is the result of many innovations/ iterations. The first step to solve an issue is an innovative idea, you can't really expect it to stand up to a commercial product in the first design iteration itself. On the contrary, we must appreciate the researchers/ innovators who choose to address any of the painpoints of the disability community
