Persons with neurodegenerative diseases may have behavioral, cognitive, emotional, motor, and social impairments due to their clinical conditions. The objective of this article is to provide the reader with the newest empirical contributions available and a comprehensive critical overview on the use of assistive technology-based interventions and virtual reality-mediated setups to assess and recover individuals with neurodegenerative diseases. A literature overview was carried out. Thirty-one studies published along last decade were selected. The retained studies overall recruited 438 participants. Four categories of studies were identified, namely (1) recovering of functional and physical activities, (2) communication abilities, (3) leisure and recreation, and (4) virtual reality. AT-based interventions were effective and suitable to promote adaptive behaviors of patients with neurodegenerative diseases. VR setups were helpful to assess and recover persons with neurodegenerative disorders.

“…59 This definition specifically includes integrated and additional business segments of a hospital, such as an elderly care center, but excludes medical care interventions at alternating locations, for example, integrated home care. 60 To determine the study design of relevant research (the “S” in PICOS approach 31 ), design evaluation methods according to Hevner et al 61 were used, who distinguished between: observational- (case- and field studies); analytical- (statistic-, architecture-, and dynamic analyses as well as optimization); experimental- (controlled experiment or simulation); testing- (functional- or structural testing); or descriptive (informed arguments and scenarios) methods as study design. Accordingly, this research considers studies that: a) describe the implementation of an IPS and different scenarios to test the IPS and therefore fulfill the requirement of a “case study” according to Hevner et al 61 ; b) represent experiments 61 that were conducted in a hospital or in an environment that was specifically prepared to illustrate a hospital (e.g.…”

Background Indoor navigation within closed facilities has been subject of studies with different application areas, particularly in recent years (e.g. the navigation requirements of people or the location of objects). Hospitals are of specific interest in this regard as the multitude of technical equipment used is potentially interfering with navigation systems. Objective This research examines relevant studies regarding Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS) in hospitals and IPS that are designed for hospitals and in preparation for implementation, by investigating the respective technologies, techniques, prediction-improving methods, evaluation results, and limitations of the IPS. Methods To gather current and future IPS in hospitals, the methodology of a Scoping Review was used. The study has been conducted by applying the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Framework to the context of IPS in hospitals. The results and limitations concerning current and future IPS in hospitals were gathered and structured by using a highly cited evaluation framework for IPS. Results Thirty-eight studies were considered for this research. The IPS technologies investigated were Bluetooth Low Energy ( n = 17), Wireless-Fidelity ( n = 10), Hybrids ( n = 4), Radio-Frequency Identification ( n = 4), Ultra-Wideband ( n = 1), Infrared ( n = 1) and ZigBee ( n = 1). Conclusions This study presents current and future IPS in hospitals. For future IPS research and IPS in hospitals, the theoretical implications contribute to our knowledge about IPS technologies, techniques, prediction-improving methods, evaluation results and limitations during testing/implementing IPS in hospitals. As practical implications, the insights of this study can be used by developers to improve IPS and by hospitals to facilitate IPS implementation.

“…It has been shown that technology can help maintain independence and improve quality of life. Some examples of how technology can support older adults in living independently are: cognitive problems detection [4], tracking systems for dementia patients [5,6], training cognitive functions such as short-term memory [7], or augmenting human memory [8]. The interdisciplinary field of designing technology and environments for independent living and social participation of older persons in good health, comfort, and safety is known as gerontechnology [9].…”
