Assistive Technology for the Elderly addresses the intricacies involved in the design and development of assisted technologies for the elderly, covering smart systems such as magnifying book contents, speaking electronic devices, alarms for doors and windows, smart alert bands, panic buttons, medication dispensers and reminders, Wander Gard, physiological parameters monitoring systems and smart home monitoring systems. This book is aimed at those who are responsible for designing assistive technology intended to be used by the elderly. It lays out the technology that is already available and covers user needs and state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies.

La modification de l'humain par son activité technicienne suscite à la fois craintes et espoirs. Elle déstabilise certains repères anthropologiques profonds comme la frontière entre le soi et le non-soi. Depuis quelques années, les innovations techniques et technologiques sont donc l'objet de nombreuses réflexions. Derrière la diversité des registres de discours, on repère le constat homogène d'une perte de contrôle. En effet, la technologie, en permettant d'agir sans connaître les ressorts de l'action, fonctionne par essence sur l'impensé. Cet ouvrage analyse la technologie non pas comme un support ou un médium mais comme un rapport particulier à l'action : expérimental et instrumental. Dans le champ du handicap, les innovations techniques - qu'elles réparent le corps, compensent les incapacités ou rendent accessible l'environnement - sont perçues comme des solutions d'accès à la participation sociale des personnes. L'ouvrage s'intéresse finalement à ce que la technologie fait aux personnes désignées comme handicapées, aux collectifs qui se forment autour d'elles at aux catégories et représentations qui structurent ce champ.

Master the assistive strategies you need to make confident clinical decisions and help improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. Based on the Human Activity Assistive Technology (HAAT) model developed by Al Cook, Sue Hussey and Jan Polgar, Assistive Technologies: Principles & Practice, 5th Edition, provides detailed coverage of the broad range of devices, services, and practices that comprise assistive technology. This new text offers a systematic process for ensuring the effective application of assistive technologies — and focuses on the relationship between the human user and the assisted activity within specific contexts. It features over 30 new photos and illustrations, as well as, updated chapters and case studies that reflect current technology.--publisher.

This book focuses on various aspects of research on aging, including in relation to assistive technology; dignity of aging; how technology can support a greater understanding of the experience of physically aging and cognitive changes; mobility issues associated with the elderly; and emerging technologies. The 80+ age group represents an expanding market, with an estimated worth of £21.4 billion a year. Everyone is affected by this shift in demographics – we are getting older and may become carers – and we need to prepare ourselves and adjust our surroundings for longer life. Products, services and environments have been changing in response to the changing population. Presenting international design research to demonstrate the thinking and ideas shaping design, this book is a valuable resource for designers; product developers; employers; gerontologists; and medical, health and service providers; as well as everyone interested in aging.
