The future: Communication in an ambient intelligence environment

Access to mobile communications by older people

“…Examples include the development of smart home technology (i.e. specialised products including embedded sensing devices developed for home and health-care monitoring of falls or the movement of older people around their home) and an ambient intelligence environment in which people are surrounded by intelligent devices that are capable of recognising and responding to their presence and activity [9].…”

“…MCTs, particularly mobile phone technology, have become ubiquitous, adaptable and near-universal platforms that support many modes of communication and provide access to information and environmental control systems, services and entertainment [9,10]. However, mobile phone technology, like other technology-driven products, is designed and marketed for younger, able, dextrous users who are comfortable with and enjoy using technology as an everyday part of their lives [11,12].…”

The Ethical Implications of Personal Health Monitoring

“…The presentation of results therefore focuses on the authors' analysis and interpretation of the literature.

Smart Houses and Smart Technology: Overview and Implications for Independent Living and Supported Living Services

“…Progress in smart technology is progressing rapidly and has endless possibilities for supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (Fellbaum, 2008). Just as 40 years ago many people thought that ''Star Trek'' technology was only science fiction and would never become reality, how many of us can tell what impact smart materials or smart ''dust'' will have on services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities?…”
