Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)

Understanding Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and How Assistive Technology Helps

An acquired brain injury can affect memory, concentration, decision-making, fatigue levels, mobility and the ability to manage daily tasks. Clients may find it harder to plan, initiate actions, stay organised or safely interact with their environment.

Assistive technology supports these challenges by simplifying everyday routines, reducing cognitive load and offering safe, intuitive control over the home.

With the right systems in place, individuals with ABI can:

  • Use voice control or simple interfaces to manage lighting, heating, blinds and entertainment

  • Automate routines to support structure, reduce reminders and minimise overwhelm

  • Improve safety with alerts, motion-activated lighting and monitoring

  • Receive audio prompts and guided pathways that support memory and consistency

  • Easily manage visitors and door access without needing to multitask

  • Reduce fatigue by removing physical and cognitive effort from everyday tasks

  • Create a predictable, calming environment that supports recovery and independence

Assistive technology doesn’t treat an ABI — but it makes the home easier to live in, supporting independence, confidence and day-to-day safety.
