Description
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.- Focuses on practical devices and technology for engineers- Offers deep coverage of sensor based assistive technologies that are elderly for people with dementia, physical disabilities and people living alone- Covers assistive technology ecosystems and offers case studies for practical application
