Lg accessibility assistive technology
Assistive technology refers to products and systems that enhance the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities. These technologies range from simple tools like magnifiers to advanced systems such as robotics and AI.1 Our previous article on assistive technology delves deeper into how these innovations are building accessible homes for everyone.2
LG ThinQ, a smart home platform, is designed to foster independence and convenience for users of all abilities. By integrating AI and IoT, the ThinQ app allows seamless control over various home appliances, making it manageable for individuals with disabilities.3
The Smart Pairing™ feature enables the LG WashTower’s communication by sending information between the wash and dryer, for the appliance to automatically select the most suitable drying cycle for that wash cycle.4 Voice-assisted control further enhances accessibility, allowing users to manage their laundry with simple voice commands.3
Smart Diagnosis™, included with ThinQ-equipped fridge freezers such as GSLV91MBAC, assists users by troubleshooting issues via the ThinQ app.5 This feature minimises the need for physical interaction, providing a more accessible and convenient user experience.6
Remote monitoring is a key feature of LG ThinQ-enabled dishwashers. It allows users to check the status and control their dishwasher from anywhere using the ThinQ app, enhancing convenience and accessibility.7
The ThinQ app's remote start and cycle monitor features enable users to start and track their styler cycles remotely. This functionality is particularly beneficial for individuals with limited mobility.8
LG's webOS operating system is designed with accessibility at its core. LG plans to transform its TV business into a media and entertainment service provider by expanding content, services and advertising in its products.9 This includes OLED and QNED TVs, powered by the webOS operating system.10 With webOS TV, users can create a familiar and immersive smart TV experience, tailored to their values. The necessary resources and setups are readily available in webOS TV.11
