Health professionals' and researchers' views on Intelligent Assistive Technology for psychogeriatric care.
Intelligent Assistive Technologies (lATs) open the prospects of alleviating the global burden of population aging and dementia. However, their translation from designing labs to the clinical setting appears suboptimal. This study aims at obtaining more detailed knowledge on the clinical translation...

However, their translation from designing labs to the clinical setting appears suboptimal. This study aims at obtaining more detailed knowledge on the clinical translation of lATs by exploring the views and attitudes of key health professionals involved in dementia and older adults care. Qualitative data were gathered in three among the countries with the highest and lowest birthrate (Switzerland, Germany, and Italy), hence particularly exposed to aging-related health burden. Our findings provide a qualitatively rich picture of the current opportunities and challenges of using lATs in the clinical setting. In addition, we identify a number of possible barriers to the adequate translation of lATs into the clinics and delineate possible solutions to overcome these barriers. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
