| Annotation | TIDE (Technology initiatives for disabled and elderly people) aims to develop new technological tools and applications for people with disabilities and older people, to help them live autonomously and participate more fully in social and economic life. In this Bridge phase, TIDE is specifically aimed at stimulating a single market in assistive technology (AT) - defined as technology which can help compensate for functional limitation, facilitate independent living, and which can enable disabled and older people to realise their potential. This book provides synopses of 55 projects funded under the European Union's TIDE programme from 1993 to 1997. Projects are grouped according to the following themes: access to technology and related services; life at home and remote care; mobility and transport; control and manipulation; restoration and enhancement of function; and user and market issues.
