Healthcare systems in industrialized countries face the challenge of providing care for a growing number of elderly people. Information technology has the possibility of facilitating this process by providing support for nursing staff and improving the well-being of the elderly through a variety of support systems.
Little is known about the challenges that arise from the deployment of technology in care settings; however, the integration of technology into care is one of the core determinants of successful support. This article presents the challenges and options associated with the integration of technology into care using the example of a mobile robot to support physiotherapy for elderly people with cognitive impairment in the European project Spatio-Temporal Representations and Activities for Cognitive Control in Long-Term Scenarios (STRANDS).
This article presents the technical challenges associated with the introduction of robots in the context of care as well as the perspectives of physiotherapists involved and an overview of information and experiences gained. It is hoped that this will provide useful information for the work of researchers and practitioners wishing to integrate robotic aids into the caregiving process.
工业化国家的医疗保健系统面临着为越来越多的老年人提供护理的挑战。信息技术有可能通过为护理人员提供支持以及通过各种支持系统改善老年人的福祉来促进这一过程。
对于在护理环境中部署技术所产生的挑战知之甚少；然而，将技术融入护理是成功提供支持的核心决定因素之一。本文以移动机器人为例，介绍了在欧洲项目“长期情景中认知控制的时空表征与活动”（STRANDS）中，将技术融入对认知障碍老年人进行物理治疗护理的挑战和选择。
本文介绍了在护理环境中引入机器人相关的技术挑战、参与其中的物理治疗师的观点以及所获得的信息和经验概述。希望这将为希望将机器人辅助设备融入护理过程的研究人员和从业者的工作提供有用信息。
