Towards Dependable Virtual Companions for Later Life
When we grow older, we become more vulnerable to certain reductions in quality of life. Caregivers can help, however human care is limited, and will become even scarcer in the near future. This thesis addresses the problem by contributing to the development of electronic assistive technology, which has the potential of effectively complementing human support. In particular, we follow the vision...
متن کاملEvaluation and Refinement of a Design Framework for Generating Dependable Virtual Companions for Later Life
Resources in care for frail older people are limited. Electronic assistive technology can help maintain and improve older people's quality of life, however high requirements need to be put on such systems. As part of an iterative design process, this paper evaluates a framework for the design of interactive, multifunctional, and personalised assistive technology – virtual companions – in relati...
متن کاملUse of Assistive Technology and Need for Social Support for Elderly With Physical Disabilities
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine the use of assistive technology, social support in everyday life and psychological existential orientation for individuals with physical disabilities. Methods: Forty-six elderly persons with physical disabilities (aged 73.7±10.6 years, range 53-93 years) were examined with regard to the use of assistive technology, social support...
متن کاملVirtual assistive companions for older adults: qualitative field study and design implications
This paper presents a qualitative study conducted to explore perceptions, attitudes and expectations for a virtual assistive companion designed to supplement human caregiving and facilitate an improved quality of life and long-term health benefits for older adults. The study was conducted adopting a human-centred approach; employing focus groups and individual interviews with older adults, prof...
متن کاملPlanar Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Au Clusters in Pushing Process
Based on the fact the manipulation of fine nanoclusters calls for more precise modeling, the aim of this paper is to conduct an atomistic investigation for interaction analysis of particle-substrate system for pushing and positioning purposes. In the present research, 2D molecular dynamics simulations have been used to investigate such behaviors. Performing the planar simulations can provide a ...
