Many users are confronted multiple times daily with the choice of whether to take the stairs or the elevator. Whereas taking the stairs could be beneficial for cardiovascular health and wellness, taking the elevator might be more convenient…
This report presents the experimental methodology and a step-by-step guide for gathering data on how aging influences tactile surface perception in decision and action. The experiments consist of a set of trials in which the ability to…
Wearable technology has significantly improved the quality of life for older adults, and the emergence of on-body, movable robots presents new opportunities to further enhance well-being. Yet, the interaction design for these robots remains…
Background: Occupational safety and health institutions report that caregivers areparticularly at risk of developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) andpatient handling is often pointed out as one of the main causes. While…
In aging-in-place contexts, small difficulties in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) can accumulate, affecting well-being through fatigue, anxiety, reduced autonomy, and safety risks. This position paper argues that robotics for older adult…
The distinct abilities of older adults to interact with computers has motivated a wide range of contributions in the the form of design guidelines for making technologies usable and accessible for the elderly population. However, despite…
This article explores assistive devices for upper limb movement in people with disabilities through a systematic review based on the PRISMA methodology. The studied devices encompass technologies ranging from orthoses to advanced robotics,…
As the number of Persons with Disabilities (PWD), particularly those with one or more physical impairments, increases, there is an increasing demand for assistive robotic technologies that can support independent mobility in the built…
Numerous diseases and aging can cause degeneration of people's balance ability resulting in limited mobility and even high risks of fall. Robotic technologies can provide more intensive rehabilitation exercises or be used as assistive…
This study provides user-studies aimed at exploring factors influencing the interaction between older adults and a robotic table setting assistant. The in-fluence of the level of automation (LOA) and level of transparency (LOT) on the…
The rapid increase in the world's aging population to 16% by the year 2050 spurs the need for the application of digital health solutions to enhance older individuals' independence, accessibility, and well-being. While digital health…
Human assistive robotics have the potential to help the elderly and individuals living with disabilities with their Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Robotics researchers present bottom up solutions using various control methods for…
Rollator walkers allow people with physical limitations to increase their mobility and give them the confidence and independence to participate in society for longer. However, rollator walker users often have poor posture, leading to…
This paper describes a mobile health monitoring system called iCare for the elderly. We use wireless body sensors and smart phones to monitor the wellbeing of the elderly. It can offer remote monitoring for the elderly anytime anywhere and…
In recent years, many countries, including Japan, have rapidly aging populations, making the preservation of seniors' quality of life a significant concern. For elderly people with impaired physical abilities, support for toileting is one…
Falls among older adults are a significant public health concern, leading to severe injuries, loss of independence, and increased healthcare costs. This study evaluates the effectiveness of various models, including a Geometric approach,…
With the intensification of global aging, health management of the elderly has become a focus of social attention. This study designs and implements a smart elderly care service model to address issues such as data diversity, health status…
Purpose: Conventional robotic ultrasound systems were utilized with patients in supine positions. Meanwhile, the limitation of the systems is that it is difficult to evacuate the patients in case of emergency (e.g., patient discomfort and…
We present an intelligent interactive nightstand mounted on a mobile robot, to aid the elderly in their homes using physical, tactile and visual percepts. We show the integration of three different sensing modalities for controlling the…
Rollating walkers are popular mobility aids used by older adults to improve balance control. There is a need to automatically recognize the activities performed by walker users to better understand activity patterns, mobility issues and the…
