“…Overall, we encountered a considerable heterogeneity in studies concerning the use of AT and the concept of disability. A total of 14 articles dealt with disability in its most general sense [46,50,51,58,[68][69][70]73,74,[76][77][78]80,81] and among these only 2 articles, by Kumari and Lenka [50] and Smith and colleagues [74], comprehensively analyzed the different levels and forms of disability in the more general idea, proposed by the authors themselves, that various disabilities may require different approaches.…”

“…Out of 41, only 5 articles [57,62,65,67,80] included, in addition to the work and productive activities, the activities of daily living, and only 2 articles [61,65] also included play and leisure. Regarding the human component, twenty-six articles focused on the cognitive abilities of the target population [42,43,[48][49][50][51][52]54,56,57,59,[61][62][63][64][65][66][70][71][72][73][74]76,77,81], eleven on physical abilities [41,42,45,47,50,53,55,60,67,75,79], fourteen on disability in a broader sense [46,50,51,58,[68]…”

To explain the low employment rates of people with disabilities (PwDs), emerging debates have revealed an unexploited potential impact of assistive technology (AT) on human talent and the inclusion process. This article provides a systematic review to critically evaluate the current trends in the literature on AT. A systematic review was performed according to the inclusion criteria of the PRISMA-S guidelines, followed by a thematic analysis identifying the main themes by which the literature on the subject is organized. Finally, the Human Activity Assistive Technology (HAAT) model was used to deepen the contents taken into consideration in the scientific literature and to discuss the concept of workplace inclusion and its use. Forty-one studies fully met the eligibility criteria of the systematic review. The thematic analysis produced four clusters related to the impact and characteristics of AT in the workplace. Overall, the use of the HAAT model highlighted a lack of studies on the affective and socio-cultural dimensions that characterize the use of AT in the workplace. It is concluded that the deployment of AT can and should work on multiple levels to shape the workplace experiences of PwDs.

Smart cities require smart healthcare. In a smart city, the purpose of citywide efforts has the fundamental objectives of livability, sustainability, and productivity. Some well-intentioned smart city programs unintentionally worsen inequality when they lack transparency, fail to involve the community or ignore the varied requirements and preferences of residents. To address ongoing health disparities among persons with intellectual disabilities, patient-centred preventive healthcare that considers both their physical and mental health needs must be prioritized. Engagement and inclusion must at the forefront of smart city initiatives that shift from being technology-centric to citizen-centric. We bring attention to pillars of interaction in inclusive smart cities in the context of care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We explore the fundamentals of a digitally inclusive healthcare service ecosystem for people with IDD through the lens of the Actor for Actor framework to learn about the foundational facilities for IDD patients’ to engage an establish care pathways.

Objectives Digital health interventions offer promising avenues for enhancing health outcomes, the quality of life, and social participation among individuals with disabilities. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of these interventions on individuals with disabilities. Methods This study began with a comprehensive search of several electronic databases and the grey literature in hopes of selecting primary qualitative and quantitative studies that examined digital health interventions for individuals with disabilities. Our analysis categorized outcomes into health improvements, quality of life enhancements, and increased levels of social participation. Results Measures of the quality of life revealed enhancements in emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being, as well as reductions in pain and increases in the efficiency with which daily activities were accomplished. In terms of social participation, digital health interventions fostered stronger relationships and heightened levels of social engagement. Secondary outcomes of the study spotlighted user satisfaction and concerns with digital tool usability. However, design and user features, such as ease of use and privacy, influenced tool effectiveness. The results suggested that digital interventions, especially when paired with emerging technologies such as virtual reality and machine learning, have the potential to be engaging and effective. The research prioritized primary, empirical, and quantitative studies in setting up a solid foundation of data and ensuring minimal bias. However, the diversity of the studies reviewed made a meta-analysis challenging because the studies focused on various disabilities, interventions, and outcome measurements. Conclusion The nascent field of digital health would benefit from research with narrowly targeted goals, particularly research emphasizing societal participation for disabled individuals.
