Computer-Assistive Techniques for Monitoring and Tracking Patient Healthcare and Engagement

Abstract

Assistive devices and technology reduce a person's dependency on others while also improving the overall quality. Wheelchairs, visual aids, hearing aids, and specialist computer software and hardware systems help the elderly and disabled improve their hearing, vision, mobility, and communication. Assistive technology, for example, provides enormous opportunity to improve the effectiveness of both health and social care delivery. 'Low-tech' products like memory aides and digital calendars, as well as 'high-tech' items like health tracking gadgets and wearables, are examples of assistive technologies. Assistive devices can be used to improve quality of life, improve lifestyle, and boost independence, depending on the type of device. Patient and caregiver acceptance of technology is influenced by a variety of factors, including perceived skills and competencies in utilizing the device, expectancies, trust, and reliability.
