Stanford Medicine Accessible Technology (SMAT) is a group of staff from various Stanford Medicine offices and departments working together to provide technology-based support, resources, and solutions addressing disabilities in the Stanford Medicine community. Our goal is to leverage technology to promote a more inclusive and accessible workplace. We are a group dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion looking to create partnerships across Stanford Medicine, Stanford University, and beyond to facilitate the discovery, use, and provision of technology that enhances lived experiences by ensuring accessibility. We seek to foster inclusivity and create genuine spaces of belonging where anyone, regardless of physical or cognitive differences, can have access to the support they need to thrive.
