商品簡介
Researchers mostly in electronics, but some also in medical and social sciences consider a wide array of topics relating to aging and technology. They cover innovations supporting aging in place, engagement with daily life, and the frail elderly and aged care providers. Among the studies are ubiquitous computing for independent living, assistive technology to support the well being and independence of people with memory impairments, a robotic arm for electric scooters, promoting active aging through technology training in Korea, building a mutual assistance community for elderly people, attitudes toward intelligent technologies by elderly people and caregivers in nursing homes, and supporting family-based care for aged patients with chronic illness.
