Assistive Technology on the Threshold of the New Millennium
The field of assistive technology is influenced by the ongoing and rapid development of mainstream technologies on the one hand and continuing changes to social systems in relation to societal events - such as the ageing of the population - on the other. The articles in this book provide a broad overview of developments in technical support for people with functional restrictions: key technologies like telecommunications and IT are addressed, while low-tech practical solutions are also considered.
Assistive Technology
Points towards the difficulty encountered in research and development carried out by laboratories to reach the users. This book aims at alerting developers so that they pay attention to the outcome of their work. Inventive research and technologies which have a high potential in the field of Assistive Technology are described in this publication.
Advances in Digital Government
Advances In Digital Government presents a collection of in-depth articles that addresses a representative cross-section of the matrix of issues involved in implementing digital government systems. These articles constitute a survey of both the technical and policy dimensions related to the design, planning and deployment of digital government systems. The research and development projects within the technical dimension represent a wide range of governmental functions, including the provisioning of health and human services, management of energy information, multi-agency integration, and criminal justice applications. The technical issues dealt with in these projects include database and onto...

Assistive Technology
This publication covers different themes in the field of assistive technology. The theme New technologies will explore the significant advances in technology research & development and how these can be harnessed to benefit people with disabilities. This will include evolving technologies, affording interesting insights into the future. The theme User Centred Approach will look at fundamental ways in which the EU advocate a philosophy of citizenship and governance and how this philosophy can be advanced to ensure that people with disabilities become central to the assistive technology process Another issue that is explored in this publication is Interdisciplinary Approaches which can be developed within assistive technology and the provision of services to people with disabilities. Finally, it concentrates on ways in which practitioners and users, working together within assistive technology, can achieve best practice in the development and implementation of Guidelines and Standards across a broad spectrum.
Mobile Robotics in Healthcare
The text presents the conclusions of four years joint work of 12 European laboratories on mobile robotics technology for healthcare services. The book bridges the human factors and the demands of real-life applications to the achievements of the robotics technology. It is organize d in 15 chapters analyzing topics covering all the related fields and including but not limited to: user - application requirements, human machine interfacing, mobile robots' and mobile manipulators' control architectures, navigation and sensing strategies, and robot - smart building interconnection. It also provides technical details and hints to the reader on how to address real-life problems. The book also performs a historical review and includes an overview of the contemporary developments worldwide.
Assistive Technology from Adapted Equipment to Inclusive Environments
The concept of Assistive Technology is moving away from adopting the most appropriate devices to overcome the limitations of users, to the designing and setting up of total environments in which people can live, supported by suitable services and additional support devices integrated within the environment. These two perspectives are deeply intertwined, both from technological and social points of view, and the relationship between them currently represent the primary challenge for the field of Assistive Technology. This publication covers the proceedings of the 10th European Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe (http://www.aaate.net), the organ...
Challenges for Assistive Technology
In the 21st century Assistive Technology (AT) should be defined as a scientific and technologic approach to the development of products and services oriented to support the elderly and people with disabilities in their daily activities, maximizing their personal autonomy, independence, health and quality of life.
輔助性科技的人文意涵
內容簡介 Nokia手機有名的廣告詞──「科技始終來自於人性」，話雖如此，然而，人性結構中之人本素質的發展水平，卻未必人盡相同。而且，特殊教育與輔助性科技之發展，其人文面之重要影響因素，乃緊繫於一國人民之人本素養。因此，「科技」不能偏廢「人文」，本書之目的即試圖針對輔助性科技之人文層面的若干議題進行探討，作者試圖走出輔助性科技之本科單一視野，轉而從經濟學、社會學、賽局理論、哲學、輔具活用等層面來探討輔助性科技的人文意涵。本書結構共分為兩大篇，第壹篇為「輔助性科技之基本概念簡介」，第貳篇為「輔助性科技之人文議題探討」。為讓未曾接觸過輔助性科技之讀者能對此一學門有初步之了解，本書在第壹篇試圖勾勒出輔助性科技之基本概念，希望幫助讀者在第貳篇的閱讀中，能順利走入輔助性科技人文議題的情境中，並能抓住議論之核心。
