IDOSOS E O USO DE TECNOLOGIAS ASSISTIVAS EM CASA: UMA REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA DE LITERATURA
Get PDFAssistive Technologies (ATs) have great potential for healthy aging at home. Its activity reaches several sectors and it focuses on the progressive demand for improvements and new solutions. In this sense, this article aims to understand the studies direction related to ATs development, focusing on the elderly and domestic environment, in the last five years. For this, a systematic literature review was carried out in four stages according to the PRISMA recommendations. Scopus, SciELO and Google Scholar were used as databases, based on pre-defined terms, with publications in English and Portuguese and the period from 2015 to 2019. 36 studies were chosen for this review, observing the development of technologies related to physical and digital artifacts, ambient assisted living, wearable and immersive products, in addition to the services implementation for home environment. From the totality of studies, it was noticeable the valuation of issues related to privacy, cost and customization, in addition to the emergence of new action contexts when compared to the related works.As Tecnologias Assistivas (TAs) possuem grande potencial de auxiliar o envelhecimento saudável em casa e seus campos de atuação atingem diversos setores, exigindo a demanda progressiva de melhoramentos e novas soluções. Nesse sentido, este artigo objetiva compreender o direcionamento dos estudos relacionados ao desenvolvimento de TAs com foco em idosos no ambiente doméstico, nos últimos 5 anos. Para isso, uma revisão sistemática de literatura em quatro etapas foi realizada segundo as recomendações PRISMA. Scopus, SciELO e Google Scholar foram utilizados como bases de dados, com termos pré-definidos em publicações em Inglês e Português, no período de 2015 a 2019. Foram elegidos 36 estudos para a revisão, observando-se a presença do desenvolvimento de tecnologias relativas a artefatos físicos e digitais, ambientes de vida assistida, produtos vestíveis e imersivos, além da implementação de serviços para o ambiente doméstico. Da análise dos estudos, percebeu-se a valorização de questões relativas à privacidade, custo e personalização nos projetos, além do surgimento de novos contextos de ação quando comparado aos trabalhos relacionados anteriores
StraightenUp+: Monitoring of Posture during Daily Activities for Older Persons Using Wearable Sensors
No full textMonitoring the posture of older persons using portable sensors while they carry out daily activities can facilitate the process of generating indicators with which to evaluate their health and quality of life. The majority of current research into such sensors focuses primarily on their functionality and accuracy, and minimal effort is dedicated to understanding the experience of older persons who interact with the devices. This study proposes a wearable device to identify the bodily postures of older persons, while also looking into the perceptions of the users. For the purposes of this study, thirty independent and semi-independent older persons undertook eight different types of physical activity, including: walking, raising arms, lowering arms, leaning forward, sitting, sitting upright, transitioning from standing to sitting, and transitioning from sitting to standing. The data was classified offline, achieving an accuracy of 93.5%, while overall device user perception was positive. Participants rated the usability of the device, in addition to their overall user experience, highly
