What this paper is

This paper describes the institutional establishment and governance framework of India's National Centre of Assistive Health Technology (NCAHT). It reports no patient outcomes, clinical trial results, or evaluations of treatment efficacy, so there are no findings here to change clinical practice.

The easy way to misread this

Do not interpret the description of NCAHT's activities as evidence that its assistive technologies have been clinically validated or proven effective for specific patient outcomes. The paper reports only on institutional processes and governance structures, not on patient results.
