Description & Coverage
Description:

In recent decades, the advancements of sciences and technologies have accelerated. However, due to their nature, these sciences and technologies have been weakly integrated into people’s daily lives. If the adoption of these advancements in everyday life had been considered much more by the ordinary people and highly aged people, the phenomenon would have been visible in all the aspects of ordinary people’s lives and highly aged people’s lives, too. With and under this reality, the lives of ordinary people and highly aged people would have been much more fruitful and satisfying in terms of security and caring.

Assisting an Aging Workforce With AI and Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS): Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential reference source that discusses AI, cloud, virtual and augmented reality, and MEMS and presents applications of these technologies for assisting and helping older generations as well as those with mental and physical handicaps. Featuring research on topics such as medical treatment, quality of life, and intelligent systems, this book is ideally designed for engineers, managers, IT specialists, researchers, academicians, and students.

  • Online hosting
  • Submission of the journal's content to numerous abstracts, directories, and indexes
