Some of the principal results and conclusions of a study to identify research priorities in the external aids field of Biomedical Engineering are presented. Particularly, there is the need for work on (1) the problems of permanent body access, (2) the development of improved membranes, (3) the harnessing of real-time speech analysis and speech synthesis technology and (4) specification of man/machine interfaces for the sensorially disabled. Lists of more specific research needs are given in which problems of the incontinent, the sensorially-impaired and the severely disabled are particularly prominent
