The subsequent chapter delineates numerous lighthouse projects that explicitly address assistive technologies (AT) in the context of home-based palliative care. The authors demonstrate the extensive scope of palliative care for adults and children, and the manner in which AT can enhance the quality of life of patients, as well as provide support to carers and health professionals. They argue that the prospect of facing the end of life should not be seen as a reason to avoid AT, as it provides a framework for symptom assessment, self-management strategies and communication with applications that have been found to be both beneficial and comforting, including digital interventions, social media support and voice control.

摘要

The subsequent chapter delineates numerous lighthouse projects that explicitly address assistive technologies (AT) in the context of home-based palliative care. The authors demonstrate the extensive scope of palliative care for adults and children, and the manner in which AT can enhance the quality of life of patients, as well as provide support to carers and health professionals. They argue that the prospect of facing the end of life should not be seen as a reason to avoid AT, as it provides a framework for symptom assessment, self-management strategies and communication with applications that have been found to be both beneficial and comforting, including digital interventions, social media support and voice control.
