Patrick Burke - Design and Function should go hand in hand.

Gear, Gadgets and Gizmos

Oct 5 2020 • 20 mins

After a successful career in IT working in the finance industry, Patrick Burke was forced to take medical retirement as a result of Multiple Sclerosis. After initially struggling to adjust to his new "normal" he now spends much of his time exploring the impact of his condition and how it affects others. He continues his search for things that will either make life easier or that will specifically address the barriers MS puts his way.

Patrick has been a panel member for Research Institute for Disabled Consumers (RiDC) for over five years. He clearly enjoys the world of "gadgetry" and his website aid4disabled https://bit.ly/3no2zfo often features devices that he has used.

In this podcast, he shares his thoughts about two gadgets which live in his kitchen and two devices that help him stay mobile.
