Geriatric Engineering: Nursing and Design Principles of Intelligent Assisted Living Environments

Geriatric Engineering is the science of applying engineering concepts to solve mechanical and control systems deficiencies that arise as people age and aplying these to assistive living environments extending independent living. The textbook starts with an introduction to the field of human aging. It examines how human aging is viewed and how society responds to the issues of aging. This is followed by an introduction to system design techniques of assistive technologies to foster independent living. Additional sections include primers on microprocessor and sensors interfacing to facilitate these deigns, as well as wound care and ostomy maintenance issues to ensure independent living.

老年工程學是將工程概念應用於解決人們衰老時出現的機械和控制系統缺陷的科學，並將這些應用於輔助生活環境以延長獨立生活。這本教科書首先介紹了人類衰老的領域。它探討了人類衰老的觀點以及社會對衰老問題的回應。接著介紹了輔助技術系統設計技術，以促進獨立生活。其他部分包括微處理器和傳感器介面的入門知識，以便實現這些設計，以及傷口護理和造口護理問題，以確保獨立生活。
