Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of assistive technologies nowadays aims to raise the ability of people with disabilities to perform their daily living needs. The new challenges faced by people with disabilities require an innovative approach to the design and development of new services based on the working principles of assistive technologies. Therefore, this Special Issue is intended to present new ideas and experimental results in the field of the development and application of assistive technologies. It also emphasizes the importance of education and learning methods for people with disabilities using the possibilities provided by new solutions and services in the field of the development of assistive technologies. Areas of assistive technologies that are relevant for the development of new services and solutions include artificial intelligence, the development of algorithms and applications, wireless technologies, ambient assisted living, enhanced living environments, education methods, e-Health, Society 5.0, wearable technologies, and sensors networks. The concept and development of assistive technologies require the application of the basic principles of universal design; therefore, this area is also very important for the application of new solutions and services in the everyday life of people with disabilities.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original research papers in the overlapping fields of:
- Cloud/edge/fog/dew computing;
- Artificial intelligence;
- Autonomy and active ageing;
- Ambient technology for everyday living;
- Internet of things and smart devices for software everyday living;
- Smart environments and housing;
- Smart industry;
- Society 5.0;
- Software and applications for everyday living;
- Wearable technologies;
- eHealth;
- Security and privacy in eHealth;
- Education methods of assistive technologies.
