Think about this: Is aging in our living population becoming a crucial problem? Look around your social circle and you will know the answer. I have more elder relatives than the younger relatives say I have a total of 20 uncles and aunties from both sides of my dad and mum. However I have less than 20 cousins. Does that shows a simple analogy of less bb and more aged people. Our government has already gained the foresight that in the near future, our country is going to have the aging problem.
Since this is a real life problem happening around us, we must face the fact that the aged people are growing and how we can help them to have a better living conditions. As one person gets older, there are many aspects in the person life that needs to be taken care of. Say for instance, the health of an old man is definitely not as good as a young chap. The old man is more vulnerable to sickness. Can we introduce some technologies into the lifestyles of the aged people to make their lives happier and brighter and safer?
Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology are the key research areas focusing on this problem.
Please provide me with your comments and ideas on how technology can improvethe lifestyles of aged people. By contributing now, you are also making your life in future more comfortable because you do aged!!
