Human-computer interfaces for disabled and elderly people
Journal Title: Annales Academiae Medicae Silesiensis - Year 2014, Vol 68, Issue 1
Abstract
The use of a computer may give disabled people independence, a feeling of increased productivity and an increased sense of self-respect. Thus there is a constant need to train disabled people in the use of computers and associated assistive technology. This task contitutes an enormous challenge because of both the increasing number of disabled people and the ageing population. This article aims at investigating the extent to which the available opportunities in this area are being exploited.
