Enhancing assistive technology knowledge through WHO's training in assistive products (TAP): a pre-post quasi-experimental study in Italian undergraduate healthcare education

TAP modules are feasible and effective for undergraduate healthcare curricula, substantially enhancing AP knowledge across the 3 participating professions. Integrating TAP, aligned with WHO's GATE "5P" framework, into existing undergraduate programs can standardize assistive-technology education, reduce discipline-driven competency gaps, and contribute to Universal Health Coverage by preparing a workforce skilled in safe, evidence-based AP provision.
