Description
Summary:This text consists of nine chapters and is the product of 25 contributors, nine reviewers, and two editors. The book offers a toolbox for health care stakeholders involved in decision-making for the design, development, and implementation of smart home solutions. The book is designed for rehabilitation students and engineers as well as those with an interest for geriatric rehabilitation that includes biomedical engineers, electrical engineers, computer scientists, software developers. The body of this text consists of roughly 185 pages (counting all tables and the inserted 35-page appendix 1), and there are an additional 41 pages of references. With less than 130 pages of written text, this book is quite expensive and is primarily a review of the literature, rather than a “toolbox.” Furthermore, in these references, one would expect more than one reference to RESNA, the Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America! One would also expect more than zero attributions to the two editors. It is also the experience of this reviewer that some mention of patient therapy would involve music therapy, but the word “music” Not recommended.
