Page Published on: 10/28/2026

The University of Pittsburgh is conducting a research study exploring how people with disabilities use mainstream wireless technologies, including smartphones, mobile apps, smart home technology, and wearable devices.

The study aims to better understand barriers and supports to technology use, as well as education, training, and digital literacy needs.

Adults with disabilities who live in the United States are invited to complete a 15–30 minute online survey. Six participants will be randomly selected to receive a $25 gift card.
