Independent living with smart technologies
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.

Autoren-Porträt
WILLIAM C. MANN, OTR, PhD, is Professor and Chair of the Department of Occupational Therapy and Director of the Rehabilitation Science Doctoral Program at the University of Florida. His research focus is on aging and disability, with an emphasis on compensatory strategies to maintain and promote independence. Since 1991, he has served as Principal Investigator for the NIDRR-funded Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Aging. In the past fifteen years, Dr. Mann has authored more that 100 articles and book chapters on assistive technology, two books on assistive technology, and founded and served as editor of the journal Technology and Disability from 1990 to 2000. As an expert on aging and disability, Dr. Mann is a frequent lecturer at local, national, and international conferences and symposiums. Prior to his move to the University of Florida in 2000, Dr. Mann served as professor and chair of occupational therapy at the University of Buffalo, where he developed a curriculum in rehabilitation technology, and also established and directed the internationally recognized Center for Assistive Technology.
