The BCIT Rehabilitation Engineering Design Lab (REDLab) aims to develop novel solutions that improve and expand activities of daily living and community participation for people with disabilities. As much as possible, we engage users in our design process in order to create solutions that meet user needs.
The REDLab works with a diverse, inter-disciplinary network of researchers (e.g. Rehabilitation Engineering, Occupational Therapy, Mechanical Engineering, Human Kinetics, and others), as well as industry and community partners.
The REDLab is led by Dr. Jaimie Borisoff, Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Rehabilitation Engineering Design.
2021 International Day of Persons with Disabilities
Dr. Jaimie Borisoff was interviewed by Global News Vancouver on Dec 3, 2021, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities to talk about his research, the importance of assistive technology, and helping disabled people live more independently.
