This entry examines the potential application of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies in health and rehabilitation within the context of the Society 5.0 paradigm. Society 5.0 is a concept promoted in Japan that describes a “super-smart society” in which technologies such as AI, the Internet of Things, and robotics are integrated with the physical world. The aim of Society 5.0 is to address social challenges, improve quality of life, and support sustainable development. Society 5.0 is identified as the fifth stage of societal evolution—following the hunter-gatherer, agricultural, industrial, and information societies—and is characterized by the merging of cyberspace and physical space into a system focused on human needs, in which technology enables more personalized services. One of the most effective ways to improve the quality of life of individuals with a disability is the opportunities offered by technological developments. With the use of AI in the field of health and disability, many research and application areas have emerged in this field. AI has a significant potential in terms of increasing the independence of individuals with a disability while they perform activities of daily living, supporting them to gain functional skills and making their lives easier. AI is a transformative force in various sectors, especially in reshaping opportunities for individuals with a disability. Today, not only leading technology companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Apple but also many innovative initiatives focus on developing solutions that can respond to needs related to disability. These technological trends are increasingly being adopted by individuals affected by different types of disability and increase access to supportive tools. The growing role of AI-supported robotics, virtual reality, and smart devices in treating neurodevelopmental disorders and pediatric rehabilitation has been well established. AI is pivotal for developing a sustainable and inclusive health system. However, its full potential requires multidisciplinary collaboration and sustained research efforts.

摘要

This entry examines the potential application of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies in health and rehabilitation within the context of the Society 5.0 paradigm. Society 5.0 is a concept promoted in Japan that describes a “super-smart society” in which technologies such as AI, the Internet of Things, and robotics are integrated with the physical world. The aim of Society 5.0 is to address social challenges, improve quality of life, and support sustainable development. Society 5.0 is identified as the fifth stage of societal evolution—following the hunter-gatherer, agricultural, industrial, and information societies—and is characterized by the merging of cyberspace and physical space into a system focused on human needs, in which technology enables more personalized services. One of the most effective ways to improve the quality of life of individuals with a disability is the opportunities offered by technological developments. With the use of AI in the field of health and disability, many research and application areas have emerged in this field. AI has a significant potential in terms of increasing the independence of individuals with a disability while they perform activities of daily living, supporting them to gain functional skills and making their lives easier. AI is a transformative force in various sectors, especially in reshaping opportunities for individuals with a disability. Today, not only leading technology companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Apple but also many innovative initiatives focus on developing solutions that can respond to needs related to disability. These technological trends are increasingly being adopted by individuals affected by different types of disability and increase access to supportive tools. The growing role of AI-supported robotics, virtual reality, and smart devices in treating neurodevelopmental disorders and pediatric rehabilitation has been well established. AI is pivotal for developing a sustainable and inclusive health system. However, its full potential requires multidisciplinary collaboration and sustained research efforts.
