Abstract

Tehnologija se danas rapidno razvija i napreduje, a time i korištenje tehnologije za pomoć osobama s invaliditetom. Asistivna tehnologija ima važnost u rehabilitaciji osoba s Parkinsonovom bolešću. Liječenje Parkinsonove bolesti složeno je i doživotno te zbog toga zahtjeva kontinuiranu i otvorenu suradnju između bolesnika i svih članova multidisciplinarnog tima, kao i korištenje asistivne tehnologije. S obzirom na navedeno, u ovome radu biti će prikazana neka asistivna rješenja za osobe s Parkinsonovom bolesti. Iako češća kod starije populacije, ova bolest javlja se i u osoba mlađe životne dobi, koje su radno aktivne. Svrha asistivnih tehnologija korištenih kod osoba oboljelih od Parkinsonove bolesti je smanjenje ovisnosti o drugoj osobi, povećanje mobilnosti, povećanje osposobljenosti za aktivnosti svakodnevnoga života te sprječavanje padova. Na ovaj način direktno utječemo na bolju kvalitetu života ovih osoba i na njihovu veću uključenost u zajednici. U radu će biti prikazana neka od asistivnih rješenja: pametni satovi, pametne naočale, različite aplikacije za pomoć starijim osobama te pametni domovi.

Abstract (english)

Technology is now rapidly developing and advancing, and therefore using technology to help people with disabilities. Assistive technology is important in the rehabilitation of people with Parkinson's disease. The treatment of Parkinson's disease is complex and lifelong, and therefore requires continuous and open collaboration between patients and all members of the multidisciplinary team, as well as the use of assistive technologies. In view of the above, some of the helpful solutions for people with Parkinson's disease will be shown in this paper. Although it is more common in the elderly, this disease also occurs in people of younger age who are labor-active. The purpose of assistive technologies used in people suffering from Parkinson's disease is to reduce dependence on another person, increase mobility, increase fitness for daily life activities and prevent falls. In this way, we directly influence the better quality of life of these people and their greater involvement in the community. Some of the assistive technologies to be addressed are smart homes, smart watches, smart goggles, various applications to help older people.
