Smart computer-assisted cognitive rehabilitation for the ageing population

Abstract

This article introduces some solutions based on assistive technologies to help ageing populations in relation to their inherent problem of interaction. These technologies envision physical and cognitive rehabilitation. Examples of research and commercial systems in both types of rehabilitation are shown in this article. Finally, and based on our prior experience, a recently developed system for cognitive rehabilitation with physical exercise is presented. The main characteristics of this system are that it adds intelligence provided by a Rule Authoring component, and it offers the possibility of expansion in the future due to its implementation.
