This book describes how assistive technology can help handicapped,
elderly and acutely sick people to manage their daily lives better
and stay safe in the home. It discusses how safety is understood
from an ethical, technical and social perspective, and offers
examples of the problems that users, their helpers and professional
carers have with assistive technology in everyday situations. The
book provides insights from user-centred research and uses
photographs to illustrate the main topic: how users and technology
can work together to ensure safety. User-focused and combining
experience with research, the book will interest users of these
kinds of technology, health professionals who might introduce
and/or prescribe them, engineers who develop and sell assistive
technological gadgets, and architects who build safe homes - as
well as researchers and students who work in these fields. It
provides an overview of the existing technology, examines ways to
test its effectiveness from the point of view of users, health
professionals and researchers from different fields (architecture,
education, engineering, facility management, medicine, nursing,
occupational therapy, rehabilitative medicine, physiotherapy,
social science and speech therapy), and lists useful addresses,
websites and literature
