Emerging evidence suggests Telenoid may have therapeutic benefits for people living with dementia, but studies are limited, especially in Australian Long-Term Care (LTC). In a one-group mixed method pilot study, 10 people with a diagnosis of dementia living in one LTC facility in Queensland, Australia, participated in three individual sessions with Telenoid and a follow-up semi-structured interview. Changes in behavior and expression outcomes were observations relating to engagement before and after using Telenoid, as assessed via a one-way repeated measures ANOVA. Qualitative observation and interview data were collectively analyzed using an inductive, thematic analysis approach. No statistically significant changes in engagement were observed across the sessions. Five qualitative themes report positive and negative feelings toward Telenoid. Participants personified Telenoid, indicating its characteristics influenced perceptions. Engagement was identified as crucial, and Telenoid provided opportunities for conversations. Although Telenoid may serve as a positive activity device for people living with dementia, its time-consuming nature suggests it may be more effectively utilized by an activity officer rather than care staff who may not have time to commit to the activity.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144709794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study sample consisted of 3,058 Permobil PWCs across 5 models. Further reduced dataset for Group 3 and Group 4 devices comprised 2,615 wheelchairs. The results showed PWC users drove on average 1,365 m per day. Group 4 PWCs had a significantly higher mean daily distance traveled than Group 3 PWCs. PWCs were used on average 301 days in a year.

In a proof-of-concept driving simulator study, we evaluated a hazard warning device designed for vision impaired drivers. Three groups participated: 11 persons with central vision loss (CVL; median age 60 years), 12 with homonymous field loss (HFL; 52 years) and 11 with normal vision (NV; 60 years). CVL is characterized by impaired visual acuity and contrast sensitivity while HFL is a loss of vision in the same half of the visual field (blind side) in both eyes. Participants completed drives with and without the device which gave a directional vibro-tactile warning for an approaching pedestrian hazard when collision risk exceeded a pre-defined threshold. Warnings significantly (p < 0.001) reduced brake response times for CVL (∆ = 0.54s) and HFL (∆ = 0.30s), but not NV participants. For HFL participants, the reduction was greater (p = 0.02) for hazards on the blind (∆ = 0.57s) than seeing side (∆ = 0.10s). The warnings significantly reduced collision rates for CVL participants from 11 to 0% (all hazards) and for HFL participants from 30 to 1.7% (blind side hazards). Thus, hazard warnings may be beneficial in improving safety of vision impaired drivers; further research is warranted.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144555614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirteen of 43 sites scored below the recommended standard of 75 for WCAG score, and Flesch Kincaid Reading Ease score indicated 86% were more difficult to read than standard recommendations for web content.

However, much of the visually available information, such as the relationship between webpage elements, does not translate well to its textual representation and must be always kept in memory, limiting contextual interactions. To address this challenge, we developed Touch Matrix Assistive Technology Navigator (TOMAT), an open-source system that works alongside screen readers to provide an interactive, audio-tactile representation of webpage structure and enable contextual interactions. Our study employed a participatory design approach, involving visually impaired users, healthcare professionals, engineers, and community organizations in co-design sessions, prototype demonstrations, and focus groups. The resulting system extracts and presents non-linear web information at multiple levels of detail, allowing users to dynamically adjust granularity and efficiently navigate and interact with web content. Participants reported that TOMAT enhanced their understanding of webpage structure and provided an intuitive complement to screen reader software. The findings suggest TOMAT has the potential to improve the internet navigation experience for visually impaired users, fostering greater independence and digital participation. To support further development and collaboration, TOMAT's source files have been released under an open-source license.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144250846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Changes in the participants' utterance frequency over six months following the intervention of long-term robot use in actual living spaces were quantitatively recorded and analyzed. Two participants' total utterance frequency maintained or improved. With robot intervention, the utterance frequency to the robot was maintained for six months. When the usability and satisfaction with the robot were high, the utterance frequency increased. These results suggest that users need to be provided with personalized information that is appropriate for their individual needs to use robots effectively over the long term. Information support robots have the potential for long-term use without inflicting boredom and may encourage more frequent interactions. Long-term use of such information support robots may help older adults to continue living autonomously and independently for longer.
