Assistive Technology for Independent Living

For older adults, maintaining independence, mobility, and overall well-being during their daily activities is a serious concern. Through a multidisciplinary approach, researchers will focus on creating user-friendly and accessible assistive devices that cater to the unique needs and preferences of each individual, promoting autonomy and reducing the burden on caregivers and healthcare systems. These include wearable devices, motion sensors, feedback systems, smart home automation, and  telehealth systems. This research theme is led by Asst. Prof. Arielle Fischer

Asst. Prof. Arielle Fischer is head of the Technion BioMotion Lab in the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering. Her research focuses on biomechanics, wearable technology, and musculoskeletal pathologies.
