Abstract
There are about 480,000 persons
with different disabilities in Taiwan.
Rehabilitation technique and assistive
technology are the most important issue
to our government. However, 90% of
assistive devices are imported from
other country. It is estimated that the
cost for these assistive devices will
increase after the program of public
insurance carried. Therefore,
Executive-Yan lists the development of
rehabilitation technique and assistive
technology as a high-priority issue and
hope that could increase the productivity
of rehabilitation engineering in Taiwan.
Therefore, we coordinate the researchers
in Department of Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation, Department of Electrical
Engineering, and Institute of Biomedical
Engineering, National Taiwan
University to develop the assistive
devices for different disabled person.
The goals of this project are to design
the assistive devices need by visual
disabled person, to develop a convenient
and stable interface (speech recognition
and keyboard modification), to improve
the function of the assistive devices that
already have (such as magnifier, electric
wheelchair, and in-house-use
electronics). Finally the special
educators and clinical physicians will
evaluate these new devices. Now these
first-year goals are achieved and further
developments are proceeding.
