| Annotation | According the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), nearly three-quarters of older people suffer from one or more chronic disease, such that they require some degree of formal or informal care. This book considers a range of technologies targeted at the assessment, early detection and mitigation of such conditions, including decline in functional abilities, gait, mobility, sleep disturbance, visual impairment, hearing loss, falls, and cognitive decline. It not only describes the state of embedded and wearable technologies (including those under research), but also focuses on their potential utility. (RH). |
