Abstract

Due to the demographic change in western society, new challenges regarding healthcare of the elderly population are at the verge of surfacing. Since young people are not capable of sustaining an adequate healthcare for elderly people, new healthcare fields have to be devised. Recent advances in information and communication technology enable the support of elderly people in their domestic environment. The EU project RADIO will design of an old age compliant smart home environment which specializes in fulfilling the needs of elderly people. This is partially achieved through a mobile robot platform which serves as an assistant to the respective elderly person. Apart from this, the robot also functions as a mobile sensor platform. Under this context, unobtrusiveness is of paramount importance since the robot should be a natural participant of patients' daily life. This paper discusses such a healthcare facility, analyses its requirements and poses the challenges towards this direction.

在环境辅助生活环境中推进机器人的整体方法

由于西方社会人口结构的变化，老年人口的医疗保健面临着新的挑战。由于年轻人没有能力为老年人提供足够的医疗保健，因此必须设计新的医疗保健领域。资讯及通讯科技的最新发展，使长者能够在其家居环境中得到支援。欧盟RADIO项目将设计一个符合老年人需求的智能家居环境，专门满足老年人的需求。这部分是通过一个移动机器人平台来实现的，这个平台可以作为老年人的助手。除此之外，该机器人还具有移动传感器平台的功能。在这种情况下，不引人注目是至关重要的，因为机器人应该是患者日常生活的自然参与者。本文讨论了这样一个医疗设施，分析了它的需求，并提出了朝这个方向的挑战。
