Abstract

People with disabilities accomplish daily living task with the help of assistive technology products. For example, medical equipments or Tele-care can support older people living and enable them for caring themselves. Assistive technology enables quality life for peoples with disorder or impairment, and people with physical and mental weaknesses. Latest technology can help in developing assistive living products or improving caring methods. Improvement in technology enables various techniques for caring older people or people with disabilities. Research and products in result of this research are significantly increased for utilizing improved technology. For this purpose, this research investigates the current and past research/projects for assistive living technologies. This research studies various universities, research centers and companies/organizations involve in assistive living research/projects/ product development. This research can provide the insight for any business case, business who wants to invest in new innovative technology and serve the society. This study consolidates assistive living information with various perspectives, and present assistive living information with the help of various tables. The information is analyzed in relation to universities, research centers, companies/organizations, funding and timeline. It is found that there are significant numbers of research projects running by various universities and organizations with considerable amount of funding. It is analyzed that there is extensive need for assistive living technology research for utilizing advance technologies for true assistive living.
