Smart Technology for Aging, Disability, and Independence: The State
of the Science brings together current research and technological
developments from engineering, computer science, and the
rehabilitation sciences, detailing how its applications can promote
continuing independence for older persons and those with
disabilities.
Leading experts from multiple disciplines worldwide have
contributed to this volume, making it the definitive resource. The
text begins with a thorough introduction that presents important
concepts, defines key terms, and identifies demographic trends at
work. Using detailed product descriptions, photographs and
illustrations, and case studies, subsequent chapters discuss
cutting-edge technologies, including:
* Wearable systems
* Human-computer interactions
* Assisted vision and hearing
* Smart wheelchairs
* Handheld devices and smart phones
* Visual sensors
* Home automation
* Assistive robotics
* In-room monitoring systems
* Telehealth
After considering specific high-technology solutions, the text
examines recent trends in other critical areas, such as basic
assistive technologies, driving, transportation and community
mobility, home modifications and design, and changing standards of
elder care.
Students and professionals in the rehabilitation sciences, health
care providers, researchers in computer science and engineering,
and non-expert readers will all appreciate this text's thorough
coverage and clear presentation of the state of the science.
