A core principle underpinning Rory’s work is the importance of involving individuals with disabilities as active participants—clinical engineers, inventors, entrepreneurs—in the innovation process. His vision advocates for a society where people with disabilities are not merely recipients of aid but collaborators and leaders in creating solutions.
He stresses that meaningful technology must reach the market—getting reimbursed and adopted into everyday life—to truly make an impact. Without this, even the most advanced inventions risk remaining unused and ineffective.
