A 66-year-old female client with mild cognitive impairment consulted an occupational therapist due to difficulties with activities of daily living. The occupational therapist developed two activity assistance computer programs using ChatGPT as a resource. The client did not interact directly with ChatGPT; instead, the occupational therapist used the technology to design and implement the intervention. A computer programmed assistive technology-based occupational therapy intervention was completed for eight weeks. The occupational therapist trained the client to use these programs in the clinical setting and at home. As a result of the intervention, the client's performance and independence in daily activities improved. The results of this study emphasize that ChatGPT may help occupational therapists as a tool to design simple computer programmed assistive technology interventions without requiring additional professional input.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"165-174"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142512712","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 review was guided by the framework of Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR. We found 44 papers describing nine robots that could assist with a variety of tasks listed in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health. The mixed population experienced little or no anxiety toward the robots, and most accepted the robots' ability to monitor for safety reasons. Some participants disliked the robots' large size and slow movements. Most of the participants found the robots easy to use. They wanted improvements in the robots' functionality and the ability to personalize services. Several of the participants found the services interesting and useful, but not for themselves. The experiences of humanoid robotic assistance showed an insufficient level of technical readiness for assisting in physical assistance, a lack of personalization and readiness for use in home settings. The practical relevance of these findings lies in guiding future research and development toward a more individualized approach focusing on user needs and experiences to enhance the efficacy and integration of humanoid robots in health-care.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"203-219"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140867282","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}

This study addresses this gap by employing a user-centered design approach to explore how older adults classify SARs' functions. Using the open card sorting technique, we first identified 30 functions supporting the daily tasks of older adults. Subsequently, twenty-five older adults aged 60 to 86 with diverse educational backgrounds participated in an iterative function categorization. The initial sorting ranged from 2 to 10 groups but generally centered around 4 to 6. Through multidimensional scaling and hierarchical clustering, we revealed a hierarchical structure of SARs' functions. Which identified four main categories: \"Home Management,\" \"Smart Healthcare,\" \"Entertainment and Communication,\" and \"Monitoring and Maintenance,\" with their sub-categories and super-categories. These findings provide valuable insights for designing SARs that better align with older adults' needs.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"194-202"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142933476","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}

We compared heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), and the time-series synchronization between HRV and respiration in caregivers using the robot or a normal wheelchair as control. Under both conditions, a commercial wearable device was used to simultaneously obtain electrocardiogram and respiration signals while performing care tasks, which comprised transfer from a bed to a wheelchair or to the robot, movement to a remote location, and transfer to a chair. We found that HR was significantly higher and HRV and wavelet coherence were significantly lower in the control than with Hug during at least the first 30 seconds of rest after the task (p < 0.05). This suggests that Hug could reduce the increase in HR and thereby maintain a more constant rhythm between HRV and respiration during care tasks. A post-task questionnaire also revealed that caregivers felt the physical burden of the tasks was reduced using Hug. Our results suggest that the introduction of transfer support robots can reduce the physical burden for caregivers of daily transfer assistance tasks.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"185-193"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142480430","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}

Curbs also represent a primary spatial hazard during dynamic navigation with significant stumbling potential. Such vulnerabilities are particularly exacerbated for persons with blindness and low vision (PBLV). Accurate visual-based discrimination of curbs is paramount for assistive technologies that aid PBLV with safe navigation in urban environments. Herein, we investigate the efficacy of curb segmentation for foundation models. We introduce the largest curb segmentation dataset to date to benchmark leading foundation models. Our results show that state-of-the-art foundation models face significant challenges in curb segmentation. This is due to their low precision and recall with poor performance distinguishing curbs from curb-like objects or non-curb areas, such as sidewalks. In addition, the best-performing model averaged a 3.70-s inference time, underscoring problems in providing real-time assistance. In response, we propose solutions including filtered bounding box selections to achieve more accurate curb segmentation. Overall, despite the immediate flexibility of foundation models, their application for practical assistive technology applications still requires refinement. This research highlights the critical need for specialized datasets and tailored model training to address navigation challenges for PBLV and underscores implicit weaknesses in foundation models.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144025173","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}

This scoping review aimed to investigate power mobility driving assessments utilized most in residential care settings for adult PMD users. Fourteen articles met the criteria for analysis, which included nine different assessments that assess PMD use in residential care. Of the articles included in the analysis of PMD assessments in residential care settings, the most consistently used assessment was the Power-mobility Indoor Driving Assessment (PIDA; n = 9, 64.28%). Only two other assessments were used in more than one research study: The Wheelchair Skills Test Questionnaire (WST-Q; n = 4, 28.57%), and the Nursing Home Life-Space Diameter (NHLSD; n = 2, 14.29%).
