My father was left physically disabled after an issue with his health. This resulted in him not being able to perform normal day-to-day tasks like opening doors, checking emails, and the ability to use a phone.

Windows or Mac?
My heart goes to Mac, being a part of the Apple ecosystem allows communication between devices a breeze.
