Abstract:
Assistive technology (AT) is any item, device, software, or product system used to enhance, maintain, or improve the functional abilities of people with disabilities. There are many people with disabilities in the world, including the visually impaired, the hearing impaired, and the physically impaired. We established the National KOSEN Support Equipment Development Network (KOSEN-AT) with technical college faculty members 10 years ago to assist these disabled and elderly people. However, Japan is facing the challenge of a rapidly aging society, and the digital transformation of assistive devi

Abstract:
Recent technology advances have led urology to become one of the leading specialities to utilise novel electronic systems to manage urological ailments. Contemporary bladder management strategies such as urinary catheters can provide a solution but leave the user mentally and physically debilitated. The unique properties of modern electronic devices, i.e., flexibility, stretchability, and biocompatibility, have allowed a plethora of new technologies to emerge. Many novel electronic device solutions in urology have been developed for treating impaired bladder disorders. These disorders include

Enhancing gait stability in people who use crutches is paramount for their health. With the significant difference in gait compared to users who do not require an assistive device, the use of standard gait analysis tools to measure movement for temporary crush users and physically disabled people proves to be more challenging. In this paper, a novel approach based on video analysis is proposed as non-contact low-cost solution to the more expensive alternative with the data collected from processed videos, two values are calculated: the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of acceleration, and the Signa

Abstract The world population is aging. Age-related disorders such as stroke and spinal cord injury are increasing rapidly, and such patients often suffer from mobility impairments. Wearable robotic exoskeletons are developed that serve as rehabilitation devices for these patients. An assistive knee brace is a simple wearable exoskeleton which is used to help people with mobility issues. This device provides partial assistance to the user and also helps in providing locomotion. Many exoskeletons are currently available in the market that have different functions and use. It is believed that, t

Abstract:
A Jet Pack was designed to augment the physical ability of a person running. The Jet Pack is a light weight back pack style device that produces a forward and upward thrust propelling the user forward. The external force is produced by two variable speed, electric ducted fans, which unlike other running assistive devices, allows for completely unrestricted movement as the device does not connect to the user’s joints or leg segments. The Jet Pack has shown successful running augmentation by significantly increasing a runner’s overall speed while decreasing their heart rate in 200 meter time tri

Abstract:
Abstract The main target of this research is to assist the elderly people to walk on different road conditions independently. A method that can transform the walking motion of a walking assistive device between level walking and stair climbing automatically was proposed. To teach the target user how to walk correctly, we defined a trajectory that belongs to healthy people to help the user exercise. Stairs are common in various indoor situations and become a huge challenge for people with gait disorders. To extend the range of physical activity, walking trajectories in different surroundings we
