Visually impaired children and adolescents: Bridging the gap with personalized prevention strategies, tools, approaches, and resources
Children and adolescents with visual impairments face challenges that go beyond vision loss, impacting their physical, cognitive, and social development. Traditional care models often struggle to provide the personalized and continuous support they need as they grow.
VIPPSTAR addresses this critical gap with a transformative approach that combines advanced digital tools and artificial intelligence. By fostering autonomy and resilience, the project empowers visually impaired youth to navigate daily challenges, from physical activities to mental well-being and social inclusion.
The project integrates cutting-edge technologies—such as artificial intelligence (AI), extended reality, and smart textiles—with cross-country clinical expertise and educational innovation.
Through these innovations, VIPPSTAR aims to deliver transformative results that redefine care for visually impaired children and adolescents, leading to more independent, fulfilling, and healthier lives.
