Advancements in Assistive Technology and Remote Monitoring

The field of assistive technology and remote monitoring is moving towards more integrated and interactive systems. Researchers are exploring the use of multimodal feedback, sensor-based technologies, and internet of things (IoT) applications to support rehabilitation, patient care, and animal well-being. A key trend is the development of comprehensive systems that combine multiple technologies, such as wearable devices, mobile applications, and environmental sensors, to provide real-time monitoring and feedback. Another area of focus is the use of mixed reality technology to create immersive and context-aware environments for physical therapy and other applications. Noteworthy papers include:

  • A study on a smart foot orthosis with integrated sensing and feedback functionalities, which demonstrates a functional and comprehensive system for mobile gait detection and user interaction.
  • Research on a mixed reality approach to physical therapy for older adults, which informs design considerations for supporting older adults' needs through mixed reality and outlines technical requirements for practical implementation.
