As simple and straightforward as two health professionals
conferring over the telephone or as complex and sophisticated as
robotic surgery between facilities at different ends of the globe,
telehealth is an increasingly frequent component in healthcare. A
primer on the human factors issues that can influence how older
adults interact with telehealth systems, Designing Telehealth for
an Aging Population: A Human Factors Perspective examines the new
ways patients and healthcare providers communicate to achieve the
same or better outcomes than with traditional face-to-face
healthcare. The authors examine older adult capabilities and
provide standards and guidelines for telehealth design, enlivened
by clinical examples and tutorials on human factors methodologies.
They take a systematic look at how the use of human factors
principles can facilitate the successful development, deployment,
and maintenance of telehealth technology to better serve the aging
population. The authors have carefully stayed away from academic
writing, distilling their experience in the form of basic
observations and principles drawn from their work. They include
suggested readings at the end of each chapter that supply the
research underpinning their recommendations. The first reference to
cover older adult users in an area that will only get bigger, this
book sets itself apart by providing focused coverage of the human
factors issues specific to aging populations and practical advice
on how to accommodate them.

Behavioral Intervention Research in Hospice and Palliative Care:
Building an Evidence Base sets forth research considerations and
guidelines to build evidence-based interventions to improve
end-of-life care. It is an in-depth introduction to implementation
research and showcases how a clinical need is identified to inform
an intervention. The book extensively examines the various phases
of intervention research, including design, implementation,
evaluation, dissemination and translation. The book focuses on
methodological, ethical and practical issues. The science behind
the quality of hospice and palliative care lags behind that of
traditional medical practice, despite the continuous growth of
palliative care interdisciplinary teams. Researching, developing
and testing strategies is essential to advancing the effectiveness
and value of this care.
Smart homes, home automation and ambient-assisted living are terms
used to describe technological systems that enrich our living
environment and provide means to support care, facilitate
well-being and improve comfort. This handbook provides an overview
of the domain from the perspective of health care and technology.
In Part 1, we set out to describe the demographic changes in
society, including ageing and diseases and impairments which lead
to the needs for technological solutions. In Part 2, we describe
the technological solutions, ranging from sensor-based networks,
components, to communication protocols that are used in the design
of smart homes. We also deal will biomedical features which can be
measured and services that can be delivered to end-users as well as
the use of social robots. In Part 3, we present best practices in
the field. These best practices mainly focus on existing projects
in Europe, the USA and Asia, in which people receive help through
dedicated technological solutions being part of the continuum of
the home environment and care.
