Rapid and unprecedented population ageing poses a serious social
and economic challenge across the developed world. Shifts in
dependency ratios point to escalating welfare and pensions costs
which require radical and imaginative responses from Government and
industry. The key to this is maintaining a healthy population that
is able and willing to work longer before retirement and can remain
independent for as long as possible afterwards as well as bringing
disabled people into mainstream life and employment.
This book was stimulated by the third CWUAAT workshop, held in
Cambridge, England in April 2006; the contributors representing
leading researchers in the fields of Inclusive Design,
Rehabilitation Robotics, Universal Access and Assistive
Technology.
Contributions focus on the following topics:
- design issues for a more inclusive world;
- enabling computer access and the development of new
technologies;
- assistive technology and rehabilitation robotics; and,
- understanding users and involving them in design.
The CWUAAT workshops have a general focus on product and
solution development. As a result, many of the requirements for the
successful design of assistive and accessible technology have been
addressed and these range from the identification and capture of
the needs of the users, through to the development and evaluation
of truly usable and accessible systems for users with special
needs.
