This book aims at exposing its readers to some of the most
significant advances in assistive technologies. Assistive
technologies develop devices to assist vulnerable people, including
elderly people, people with cognitive disabilities such as memory
problems or dementia, and people with functional disabilities such
as those needing support in toileting, moving around, eating,
bathing, dressing, grooming, and taking personal care. The
ever-increasing life expectancy and world population, along with
the emergence of new diseases and the regrettable continuation of
armed conflicts, press for development and availability of
assistive technologies that offer people in need the opportunity to
live secure and controlled lives with more active participation in
society and at a reduced assistive cost. This task can be
accomplished only with more advanced devices than
traditional-powered wheelchairs or eating/drinking devices,
including prosthetics, exoskeletons, visual and hearing aids,
cognitive aids, and devices enhanced with artificial intelligence.
The book consists of an editorial note and an additional twelve
(12) chapters, all of which have been written by authors who work
on the corresponding chapter theme and are recognized for their
significant research contributions. In more detail, the chapters in
the book are organized into four parts, namely (i) Advances in
Assistive Technologies in Healthcare, (ii) Advances in Assistive
Technologies in Medical Diagnosis, (iii) Advances in Assistive
Technologies in Mobility and Navigation, and (iv) Advances in
Privacy and Explainability in Assistive Technologies. This research
book is directed towards professors, researchers, scientists,
engineers, and students in assistive technologies. It is also
directed towards readers who come from other disciplines and is
interested in becoming versed in some of the most recent assistive
technologies. An extensive list of bibliographic references at the
end of each chapter guides its readers to probe further into the
application areas of interest to them.
