Advanced Rehabilitation Technologies for Elderly and Mobility Impaired Persons applied through Innovative Internet Services The information society opens great opportunities to improve quality of life of persons with mobility impairments, including elderly people and those with difficulty in moving. However, there is a risk because information technology can also increase the physical and psychological barriers for these persons and therefore the information gap. The barriers of access impede the use of most of the existing Internet services and the development of dedicated products and services through Internet. Therefore, these barriers impede the development of new areas of business that will improve the quality of life of this population.
This project is focused on the use of computer access devices for people with motor impairments (however the platform will be flexible enough to include other pathologies in the future). The aim of this project is to provide products (both software and hardware) and services that using internet allows:
- Tele-assessment of the needs of the person with disabilities.
- Tele-adaptation of the device to the specific needs of each person
- Tele-training / distance learning.
- “Tele-” following-up of the user progress and readaptation of the computer access device.
