Abstract:

Designed Technologies for Healthy Aging identifies and presents a variety of
contemporary technologies to support older adults' abilities to perform
everyday activities. Efforts of industry, laboratories, and learning
institutions are documented under four major categories: social connections,
independent self care, healthy home and active lifestyle.

The book contains well-documented and illustrative recent examples of
designed technologies-ranging from wearable devices, to mobile applications,
to assistive robots- on the broad areas of design and computation, including
industrial design, interaction design, graphic design, human-computer
interaction, software engineering, and artificial intelligence.
