“…erefore, various types of emergency alert devices have been developed recently for dependent people, including children, people with disabilities, sick patients, and the elderly. e purpose of these devices is to locate the persons involved and monitor their safety and security and increase their quality of life [9][10][11]. Most of them send out an alarm only when help is requested, but some are developed to monitor the health of sick patients such as their blood pressure, heart rate, and so on.…”

The objectives of this study were to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of an emergency alert device for elderly people and people with disabilities by usability testing. There were two phases in this study: (1) development of a prototype for an emergency alert device and (2) usability testing of the device. Results presented development of the prototype, which comprised parts for sending and receiving signals. There were two kinds of alarms for emergency calls known as conscious and unconscious alerts. Participants in the usability testing phase included 12 specialists and 161 users that comprised 146 elderly people or people with disabilities and 15 caregivers or community health volunteers. The instruments used were a rating scale, usability checklist, and individual interviews regarding the usability, general appearance, and use of the device. The users agreed with the overall aspects regarding usability of the device, its general appearance, and use (X¯ ± SD = 4.24 ± 0.88, 4.11 ± 0.90, and 4.37 ± 0.83, respectively). Most of the participants, both specialists and users, gave their perspectives on improving the size, color of the letters displayed, type of wristband, and method for sending signals.

A Review of Commercial and Non-Commercial Wearables Devices for Monitoring Motor Impairments Caused by Neurodegenerative Diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are among the 10 causes of death worldwide. The effects of NDDs, including irreversible motor impairments, have an impact not only on patients themselves but also on their families and social environments. One strategy to mitigate the pain of NDDs is to early identify and remotely monitor related motor impairments using wearable devices. Technological progress has contributed to reducing the hardware complexity of mobile devices while simultaneously improving their efficiency in terms of data collection and processing and energy consumption. However, perhaps the greatest challenges of current mobile devices are to successfully manage the security and privacy of patient medical data and maintain reasonable costs with respect to the traditional patient consultation scheme. In this work, we conclude: (1) Falls are most monitored for Parkinson’s disease, while tremors predominate in epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease. These findings will provide guidance for wearable device manufacturers to strengthen areas of opportunity that need to be addressed, and (2) Of the total universe of commercial wearables devices that are available on the market, only a few have FDA approval, which means that there is a large number of devices that do not safeguard the integrity of the users who use them.

“…Another study [10] evaluated the bene ts of using the iPhone 4 by adults who have a slight intellectual disability so that they could be able to send their location using video captions whenever they get lost in public. Goel et al [11] used smart bands as a source of communication between children and their parents so that parents could keep track of their kids. The training of safety skills is often neglected for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).…”

This paper presents a smartphone application that provides learning and communication support to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), especially in emergency situations. This application provides learning with video modeling in case of disaster i.e., re and rain to instruct the ASD children about safety skills. In addition, the application eases collaboration support between caregivers and ASD children. The single-subject design is used to measure the usefulness of the application and the analysis is performed for two males and one female ASD children. The results show that the proposed application enhances the satisfaction level of all the participants with signi cant improvement in learning skills.
