“…Furthermore, various ways of supporting cognitive deficits, such as challenging, restarting, and scaffolding, were described and illustrated. This detailed description of cognitive and motivational assistance is a first step towards developing a framework to better understand cognitive deficits and how to support them in a manner that supports the cognition of individuals with TBI and empowers them (Tekemetieu et al, 2021(Tekemetieu et al, , 2022. Using this knowledge, training could be developed for caregivers and occupational therapists to support them in providing the optimal level of assistance in everyday activities according to the person's abilities and needs, including their ability to understand and interact with others (Togher et al, 2014).…”

“…A better understanding of how caregivers can provide assistance and the types that could be used to support the performance of their loved ones in complex everyday activities (including help with using adaptations and assistive technologies) without doing the task for them thus remains important. Finally, technological avenues, such as assistive technology for cognition, smart technologies and machine learning (Seelye et al, 2012), are a promising way of providing assistance according to the person's actions and context in a manner that empowers them and supports their cognition (Tekemetieu et al, 2021, 2022). Findings from the current study could support further personalization of the assistance provided by these technologies by identifying the types of assistance to provide according to the person's difficulties.…”

IntroductionIndividuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) frequently need assistance to manage complex everyday activities. However, little is known about the types of cognitive assistance that can be used to facilitate optimal independence. A conversion mixed method study using video analysis was conducted to describe assistance provided by trained occupational therapists during three everyday tasks carried out in the participants' homes and surrounding environments.MethodsForty‐five people with moderate and severe TBI were tested by three occupational therapists using the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Profile, an observation‐based assessment that documents independence in complex everyday activities and the minimal assistance required to attain task goals. Using video analysis, difficulties experienced by the people with TBI during a meal preparation and grocery shopping task, and the cognitive assistance provided by the occupational therapists in response to these difficulties, were documented. Statistical analyses were also completed to identify the main difficulties and types of cognitive assistance provided during the evaluation, for the whole group and depending on their level of independence.ResultsNine types of cognitive assistance were used by occupational therapists, including implicit (stimulating thought processes), and more explicit assistance (cueing), to facilitate task performance. When needed, motivational assistance, which consisted of encouraging participants to think for themselves, was also used. Stimulating thought processes was mostly used to support goal formulation and planning, whereas cueing was used in numerous instances. Participants with lower levels of independence received more assistance of almost all types to support them.ConclusionUsing these findings, training could be developed for caregivers and occupational therapists to support them in providing minimal and personalised cognitive assistance. Further research is needed to examine the extent to which all types of cognitive assistance are effective in helping various cognitive profiles of people with TBI attain optimal independence.

Rehabilitation is an important and necessary part of local and global healthcare services along with treatment and palliative care, prevention of disease, and promotion of good health. The rehabilitation process helps older and young adults even children to become as independent as possible in activities of daily life and enables participation in useful living activities, recreation, work, and education. The technology of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved significantly in recent years. Many activities related to rehabilitation have been getting benefits from using AI techniques. The objective of this review study is to explore the advantages of AI for rehabilitation and how AI is impacting the rehabilitation process. This study aims at the most critical aspects of the rehabilitation process that could potentially take advantage of AI techniques including personalized rehabilitation apps, rehabilitation through assistance, rehabilitation for neurological disorders, rehabilitation for developmental disorders, virtual reality rehabilitation, rehabilitation of neurodegenerative diseases and Telerehabilitation of Cardiovascular. We presented a survey on the newest empirical studies available in the literature including the AI-based technology helpful in the Rehabilitation process. The novelty feature included but was not limited to an overview of the technological solutions useful in rehabilitation. Seven different categories were identified. Illustrative examples of practical applications were detailed. Implications of the findings for both research and practice were critically discussed. Most of the AI applications in these rehabilitation types are in their infancy and continue to grow while exploring new opportunities. Therefore, we investigate the role of AI technology in rehabilitation processes. In addition, we do statistical analysis of the selected studies to highlight the significance of this review work. In the end, we also present a discussion on some challenges, and future research directions.

“…In majority, especially simple language applications with low interaction levels are commonly used (Beyto, 2022). In the health, care and Ambient Assisted Living area, smart speakers gain relevance (Ayimdji Tekemetieu et al, 2022;Kucharski & Merkel 2020;Waldhör, 2021). Relating care consultation, smart speakers have the potential to take over anamnesis and the booking of care services and products.…”

Participants: A. Baumeister (GERMANY), J. Bleja (Germany), B. Klein (Germany), A. Kucharski (GERMANY) S. MERKEL (GERMANY), M. Ringwald (GERMANY), B. KLEIN (discussant) ISSUE: The session circles around new technologies that have gained increasing relevance for the field of gerontechnology. It follows the idea that these new technologies ask for new theories and methods not only to understand their technical functionality but also social aspects and consequences. Applying theories and methods of social sciences, sciences, and technology studies (STS) and media studies, the session follows an interdisciplinary approach. CONTENT: The symposium brings together research and evidence of the German speaking chapters of the ISG (Austria, Germany, and Switzerland) and covers a broad spectrum of recent developments. STRUCTURE: Alexander Kucharski shares insights from an exploratory study on the domestication of smart speakers by older persons in Germany. Drawing on seven case studies he explores perspectives of older smart speaker users on their real-world domestication processes of smart speakers to understand how older users negotiate(d) the appropriation, meaning and (non)-use of smart speakers and its contents/applications within their individual socio-technical contexts, i.e. life-worlds. Sebastian Merkel also deals with the topic of smart speakers by focusing on applications or so-called skills and images of ageing. He concludes that most skills addressed at older persons rather emphasize deficitoriented/medicalized images of aging and hence user representations. J. Bleja reports on the development of a chatbot operated via smart speakers for care consultation. As a first task expert interviews have been carried out.The results indicate potential use cases, support of the anamnesis procedure being one of them. In the next two contributions, the focus is on assistive robotics. Annalies Baumeister presents a project to improve the use of a robotic arm for people with little or no arm function by an adaptive AI-based control system. In Workshops and interviews with the user groups everyday scenarios were identified which can improve significantly by this new way of user-robot-interaction. Key factor for acceptance is the embodiment of robots. Marina Ringwald presents the interdisciplinary development of an embodiment utilizing participatory design with older people as potential user group. Design options are realized in 3D models in augmented reality and evaluated in an iterative approach before a physical prototype is produced. Finally, Barbara Klein addresses the need to train professionals in the health and social care sector in these assistive digital technologies by presenting a certification course developed by a consortium of twelve partner in a European project. The materials will help professionals learn about and further communicate new solutions to support the independence and self-determination of their clients and beneficiaries. CONCLUSION: Consequently, it is argued that gerontechnology benefits from a clo...
