Abstract

As the numbers of people with disabilities actively using technology to support their day-to-day activities increases the benefits afforded by these technologies are ever more evident. Much of the technology used by people with disabilities is often characterised as Assistive Technology (AT) which is designed and developed to address the specific needs of people with disabilities. In contrast to AT which is focused on serving the needs of people with disabilities, consumer digital technology refers to those technologies that are developed for use by the general public. The aim of this study was to explore the assistive potential of a range of exemplar consumer digital technology, namely, digital voice assistants and internet of things. A qualitative study was conducted in the context of a field-trial of a range of digital consumer technologies which included a Digital Voice Assistant alongside voice-operated Internet of Things technologies.

了解残疾人家庭数字语音助手的潜力。
随着越来越多的残疾人积极使用技术来支持他们的日常活动,这些技术带来的好处也越来越明显。残疾人使用的许多技术通常被定性为辅助技术(AT),这些技术是为满足残疾人的特定需求而设计和开发的。与专注于满足残疾人需求的数字技术不同,消费者数字技术是指为公众使用而开发的技术。本研究的目的是探索一系列典型消费者数字技术的辅助潜力,即数字语音助手和物联网。一项定性研究是在一系列数字消费技术的现场试验背景下进行的,其中包括数字语音助手和语音操作的物联网技术。

期刊介绍: This book series was started in 1990 to promote research conducted under the auspices of the EC programmes’ Advanced Informatics in Medicine (AIM) and Biomedical and Health Research (BHR) bioengineering branch. A driving aspect of international health informatics is that telecommunication technology, rehabilitative technology, intelligent home technology and many other components are moving together and form one integrated world of information and communication media.
