The possibilities of digital technologies for people with disabilities or the older population are wide-ranging, but in order for all people to be able to participate in an increasingly “digital world” it is important to quality professionals and organizations so that they are able to support, advise and help with potential risks. The article presents results of a survey among health and social care professionals in seven European countries with regard to qualification in this domain and introduces the European Union funded project DDSkills. The project aims to qualify health and social care professionals in areas such as digital Assistive Technologies, Smart Home, Robotics, Virtual and Augmented Reality and Brain-Computer-Interface, as well as their implementation and application, in order to support people with disabilities or functional decline to increase their independence and social participation.
This Article introduces two research projects towards assistive robotic arms for people with severe body impairments. Both projects aim to develop new control and interaction designs to promote accessibility and a better performance for people with functional losses in all four extremities, e.g. due to quadriplegic or multiple sclerosis. The project MobILe concentrates on using a robotic arm as drinking aid and controlling it with smart glasses, eye-tracking and augmented reality. A user oriented development process with participatory methods were pursued which brought new knowledge about the life and care situation of the future target group and the requirements a robotic drinking aid needs to meet. As a consequence the new project DoF-Adaptiv follows an even more participatory approach, including the future target group, their family and professional caregivers from the beginning into decision making and development processes within the project. DoF-Adaptiv aims to simplify the control modalities of assistive robotic arms to enhance the usability of the robotic arm for activities of daily living. lo decide on exemplary activities, like eating or open a door, the future target group, their family and professional caregivers are included in the decision making process. Furthermore all relevant stakeholders will be included in the investigation of ethical, legal and social implications as well as the identification of potential risks. This article will show the importance of the participatory design for the development and research process in MobILe and DoF-Adaptiv.
Sensor Web im Zusammenspiel mit GDI am Beispiel der automatisierten Erstellung einer Temperaturkarte
(2011)
Geosensornetzwerke stellen eine hochaktuelle Entwicklung in der Geo-IT dar und gelten als der nächste Evolutionsschritt im Bereich verteilter Geoinformationsanwendungen. Die Daten der im Netzwerk organisierten Sensoren können jedoch nur dann unterschiedlichsten Anwendungen zur Verfügung gestellt werden, wenn diese sich interoperabel zusammen mit weiteren Geodaten verarbeiten lassen. Der vorliegende Text beschreibt als Grundlage das Konzept des Sensor Webs des Open Geospatial Consortiums zur interoperablen Verwaltung von Sensordaten. Am Beispiel einer automatisch erzeugten Temperaturkarte wird die nahtlose Verarbeitung von Sensordaten zusammen mit weiteren, über existierende Geodateninfrastrukturen angebotenen Daten, z. B. für Echtzeitanwendungen im Bereich des Umweltmonitorings, untersucht.
