The market of mobile technologies has considerably increased in the past few years and the costs have consequently decreased. This rapid technological evolution can be seen in two different ways from the perspective of people with disability: on the one side it represents a great opportunity to create new solutions for improving independence; on th...
Individual assessment for assistive technology solutions (AT) is often carried out as a specialist consultation in Assistive Technology Centres (ATCs), especially when inter-disciplinary competence and trial equipment are required. The SIVA service of the Don Gnocchi Foundation was the ATCs pioneer in Italy. SIVA stands for Servizio Informazione Va...

Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems aim to enable interaction with other people and the environment without muscular activation by the exploitation of changes in brain signals due to the execution of cognitive tasks. In this context, the visual P300 potential appears suited to control smart homes through BCI spellers. The aim of thi...
Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems enable people to interact with other people and to operate the environment without muscular activation, being useful as assistive technology as well as neurorehabilitation tools. A BCI system exploits brain signal modifications arising from the execution of a cognitive task assigned to the BCI user and the vis...
A on-line tool was developed to assist rehabilitation teams in choosing the appropriate assistive devices meeting the clients' individual needs and compiling the prescription package for provision through the National Health Service Such tool is implemented on the Italian national Assistive Technology Information Portal, It provides the following f...
The state-of-the-art in cost-outcome analysis of assistive technology (AT) is first reviewed, and then the article focuses particularly on the cost aspects of such technology. It elaborates on the concept of 'social cost' as the main indicator of AT economic impact, and proposes methods to compare alternative AT solutions in terms of social cost. A...
Based on a survey of 31 individual AT (Assistive Technology) programmes, an attempt has been made to infer social cost indicators for various categories of AT equipment. Cost analysis was carried out by means of the SCAI (Siva Cost Analysis Instrument). The first finding is that - not surprisingly - most AT solutions, though very expensive in terms...
The DAT project is a research initiative that aims at building up a smart home environment where people with disabilities can improve their abilities to cope with daily life activities by means of technologically advanced home automation solutions. The project has a threefold purpose. The smart home will be used as a physical setting, where clients...
The bathroom is one of the rooms you mainly use, but it is also the place that presents the greatest obstacles to disabled or elderly people with motor difficulties. In this paper we are going to focus on some assistive devices for the bathroom; besides, we will suggest some useful tricks for an optimal use of the objects you commonly find in the b...
