Assisted Technologies is a hot area having an everyday increasing strategic relevance given its impact on the economy and on the society. In this sector, sensors and sensing systems assume a role of primary importance. There is, in fact, an extremely vivid interest on this subject both in the scientific and in the industrial community. In spite of the numerous results available, there is still a large need for further research efforts and for novel solutions. In particular, multi-sensor platform and Wireless Sensors Networks hold the promise of being able to bring innovative contribution to this area being able to collect and transfer large sets of measurement data from several points thus realizing distributed and flexible measurement systems. We invite therefore original research papers on this subject with the goal to contribute to this area through a vibrant arena where novel ideas on converging subjects for the general topic of “Sensors and sensing system for Assistive Technology” will be confronted and exchanged between prominent actors in this field.
Submissions are welcomed on but not limited to:
- Review on the State of the Art on "Measurement systems and sensing solutions for Assistive Technology".
- Measurement methodologies and algorithms for Assistive Technologies, with particular regards to “Well Being” and “Active Ageing”.
- Multi-sensor architectures for Fall detection and Postural Instability monitoring.
- Multi-sensor systems for Ambient Assisted Living and Activities of Daily Living monitoring.
- Smart textile solutions for AAL.
- Measurement strategies for the assessment of Assistive Technologies.
