While technologies are increasingly used in healthcare to support older adults, their application highly depends on cultural factors. Italy, with one of Europe's highest aging populations and low digital advancement, offers an interesting scenario for discussing the digitalization of healthcare services for older adults. This study provides a state-of-the-art overview of technologies used in Italy to promote healthy aging. We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases for primary studies published from 2000 to May 2024 that employed technological solutions for healthcare in healthy Italian older adults. Fifteen studies met the criteria: four assessed the impact of technological interventions on health variables like physical efficiency, nutrition, and cognition, with positive results; 13 examined usability, user experience, and expectations, overall finding good acceptance and positive attitudes. While research on technology use in promoting healthy aging in Italy is still limited, our findings suggest that digital solutions are feasible for the older population. These results are considered within the context of the Italian healthcare system, with suggestions for future directions for clinicians.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"332-357"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143417051","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 survey included a representative national sample from six governorates, including 36 cities/districts that cover all the country. In total 12,021 respondents' data were included in the data analysis. A total, of 16.4% of the sample reported use of AP, and 22.8% reported being in need of AP. Children and adolescents (≤17 years), seniors (≥80 years), and people living in rural areas had lower access to APs. The main sources of funding were out-of-pocket (57.6%), followed by friends and family (31.2%), government (10.1%), and NGOs (4.8%). Furthermore, 58%, 27.3% and 12.2% APs were obtained from the private sector, friends and family, and the government, respectively. The main barriers facing people in need to get APs were inability to afford (43.6%), no support (22.3%), unavailability of APs (11.5%), stigma (4.6%), and no time available (3.5%). It is the government's responsibility to provide AP, in addition to suitable environments (sidewalks, transportation, and public buildings) that are friendly to people with wheelchairs and crutches.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"313-321"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144042735","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}

A randomized, waitlist-controlled, single-blinded trial was conducted in Spain with 16 children aged 10 months to 5 years. The intervention consisted of 12 weeks of powered mobility training in natural environments, followed by 4 weeks of follow-up. Primary outcomes included participation (YC-PEM), functional ability (PEDI-CAT), and quality of life (PedsQL-NM), assessed at five time points. Parental stress (PSI-SF) was a secondary outcome. Children in the experimental group demonstrated clinically meaningful gains in Daily Activities and Mobility from week 4 onward (z = 0.41-0.72; g = 0.29-0.53), while Social/Cognitive improvements exceeded SEMm by weeks 8-16. Quality of life showed significant differences at week 4 (p = 0.03; g = 0.93), though below the SEMm threshold. Modest increases were observed in home participation, while Desired Change remained stable. Parental stress reductions reached statistical significance at weeks 4, 8, and 16 (p < 0.05), though within SEMm margins. Findings support early powered mobility as an assistive technology that enhances functional independence in SMA I. Complementary psychosocial and environmental supports may maximize broader participation and quality-of-life outcomes.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144978013","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}

To assess the impact of NeoFly™ on users' health and lifestyle, participants' feedback was captured using a questionnaire related to productivity, community participation, leisure, accessibility, mobility, functionality, body functions, self-care, portability, and device feedback. Around 88% of users were satisfied with their sitting posture and could easily perform pressure relief maneuvers. Nearly 91% of users felt that maintaining a good sitting balance and bladder voiding were easy tasks and found environmental controls and doorways accessible. Around 86% of users felt ease in overhead reach. About 77% and 88% of users felt independent in performing ADLs and in terms of educational/vocational mobility, respectively.

We conducted a needs assessment study to understand current navigation techniques in familiar, somewhat familiar, and unfamiliar private indoor environments for older PwVI. We used a semi-structured interview approach to explore their experiences and their overall perceptions about the potential of an assistive robot to support wayfinding. We identified their specific needs, barriers encountered when navigating these environments, solutions for wayfinding, use of assistive technologies, and their overall thoughts about desirable technologies to improve wayfinding, specifically robots. Our data highlighted common strategies that could support their use of a wayfinding robot as well as other technologies used (i.e. white canes).

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}
