This handbook contains 49 papers, each approximately 20 pages in length. The eight-part volume covers introductory papers and policies, user needs and assistive technology, man-machine interaction, robot aids, user mobility, smart environmental technology, smart infrastructural applications, and standards and guidelines in design. Taken as a whole, the work offers a good introduction and survey of the needs and available technological remediation for the elderly and the disabled. The back cover of the volume includes the following statement:

"This book is an indispensable resource for researchers and professionals in computer science, rehabilitation science, and clinical engineering. It also serves as a valuable textbook for graduate students in the aforementioned fields. However, this book is too much of a hodge-podge to be used for academic course work, and it lacks the content to be of much use to researchers and professionals in computer science. Summing Up: Recommended. Medical libraries serving professionals and practitioners." -- A. M. Strauss, Vanderbilt University (CHOICE, March 2009)
