Abstract :
The articles in this special issue focus on advancements in quality of life technology, or QoLT. This is defined as intelligent systems that augment body and mind functions for self-determination for older adults and people with disabilities. QoLT systems can take many forms: they could be a device that a person carries or wears, a mobile system that accompanies a person, or a technology-embedded environment in which a person lives.
