“…They acquire tacit knowledge over a long period of time, not only about the diseases and their symptoms, but also about the adaptation to the conditions and the difficulties in care delivery processes [34,35]. This client-centred approach in the service process is also an important factor for the satisfaction with AT/WT devices [36].…”

Background: Due to the increasing ageing population worldwide, humanity is facing global demographic challenges. For many people, their later years are often lived with changed functioning and the need for support in daily living activities. Assistive technology and welfare technology (AT/WT) constitute a partial solution to the demographic challenges. Objectives: The purpose of this literature review is to identify the policy features, such as decision models and guidance for the provision of AT/WT as reported in the current scientific literature. Methods: A literature review with a deductive approach using the structure of the Global Cooperation on Assistive Technology (GATE) model was conducted. The data were searched from the databases: PubMed, Cinahl Plus, and the Web of Science, resulting in nine included articles. Results: The findings are presented according to the structure of the eight domains from the GATE model— policy, assessment, procurement, technology, environment, usability, sustainability and rights— which are further grouped into categories exploring the variations in every domain. Conclusion: The review reveals a nascent and growing interest in the area; however, evidence-based decision models and other guidance on AT/WT are lacking. Recent scholarships and policy reforms can form the basis of stronger guidance to organise complex AT/WT systems, but further and future research is needed.

“…Previous knowledge exploring weighted blankets in children with ADHD has informed the current body of knowledge based on parent interviews [ 17 , 30 ], parent questionnaires [ 31 ], parent sleep diaries [ 31 , 32 ], and objective sleep measurements [ 31 , 32 ] and is to the best of our knowledge lacking children's experiences of weighted blankets. We need to be aware of children's experiences in order to improve the delivery of tailored interventions and the prescription of assistive technology [ 23 , 33 ]. Without listening to children themselves, it is hard to ensure that their needs and preferences are being met.…”

Introduction. Sleeping difficulties are common in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A sleep intervention with weighted blankets was designed to increase current understanding of using weighted blankets to target children’s individual needs in connection with sleep and daytime functioning. Aim. To explore how children with ADHD and sleeping difficulties experience the use of weighted blankets. Methods. An explorative qualitative design in which 26 children with ADHD and sleeping difficulties, 6–15 years old, were interviewed about a sleep intervention with weighted blankets. Four categories emerged from qualitative content analysis. Results. Children’s experiences revealed that the use of weighted blankets 1) requires a commitment, by adjusting according to needs and preferences and adapting to the environment; 2) improves emotional regulation by feeling calm and feeling safe; 3) changes sleeping patterns by creating new routines for sleep and improving sleep quality; and 4) promotes everyday participation by promoting daily function and balancing activity and sleep. Conclusions. Using weighted blankets promoted children’s management of daily life with ADHD and sleeping difficulties. Occupational therapists can improve the assessment and delivery of weighted blankets tailored to individual needs based on increased knowledge from the children themselves.

“…The use of heuristics can help to solve problems related to usability and accessibility in software projects (EUSÉBIO; SILVEIRO; TEIXEIRA, 2020; RANADA; LIDSTRÖM, 2019). Taking into account the growing search for and dissemination of heuristics (HORTON et al, 2017), which consist of methods or processes created to propose solutions to problems by using verification items, it is noticeable that several decision factors, which can be part of the solution, are not yet found in the literature (CHI;TSENG;JANG, 2012).…”

There are more and more people who are using technology on a daily basis to communicate and access information, including the elderly and people with disabilities. Assistive technologies, also called technical aids, are accessibility and inclusion resources that provide a greater degree of autonomy and assistance for people who have some degree of difficulty in using resources in their contact with real and virtual environments. The aim of this study is to investigate the perceptions about the heuristic assessment of accessibility in software by undertaking a systematic review of the literature that covers the last 5 years. This started off with a total of 8548 published papers that are indexed in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Twelve relevant research questions were drawn up that were answered in accordance with the results found in the final set of articles. Two groups of keywords were created to assist in the search for papers and a filtering process was applied to the results of the searches. The research shows, by means of figures and tables, evidence about the growth of scientific papers in the area. The lead authors and journals that publish on evaluating the accessibility of software are listed, as are answers to the questions about which evaluative models, heuristics, metrics, limitations, assistive technologies and target audiences are most cited in published papers. This study also analyzes the co-citation of the references and couples bibliographic sources. The research showed evidence that there is no general consensus on the use of a single model to assess accessibility, but that the W3C WCAG guidelines are the sources most used to reference heuristics and metrics in studies of this type. It was also noticed that most studies do not focus on assistive technologies, but are widely used to support decisions on websites.
