Existing types of assisted living
New technology that capture information from brain translated it to speech
The audio is being developed by Ambient as an innovative new way of silently communicating with the world around you. The audeo allows an individual to directly utilize the minute neurological signals from the brain which control the vocal cords to communicate silently

Hi group
This some research that I found for assisted living.
What assisted living is?
Assisted living facilities are for people needing assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) but wishing to live as independently as possible for as long as possible.
Different types of disability
Eyesight disability
Eyesight disability if you don’t have normal vision even if you wear eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Hearing Disability
people who are completely deaf. Or, have partial hearing in one or both ears. However, to correct this problem, you are required the use of a hearing aid
Mobility Disability
Mobility refers to different people with varying types of physical disabilities. It is often related to individual with upper limb mobility, manual dexterity, and co-ordination problem. Mobility impairment is one of the disability types that affect movement ranging from gross motor skills like walking, to fine motor movement involving manipulation of objects by hand. Some use assistive equipment such as wheelchair or electronic strollers to be able to move around.
Cognitive Disability
Is thinking. It includes many different functions including our abilities to pay attention, learn and retain information, solve problems, and use language to express thoughts. Cognitive disability refers to people with dyslexia

Coursework 2
Hi group!
Just a recap on what we decided to research:
Just a recap on what we decided to research:
- What Assisted Living is
- What disability/impairment we can aid with assisted living
- Different types of disability, and how this affects every day living
- Existing types of assisted living
We will then in week 20 decide on what impairment we will assist.
At present we are looking at motor/restricted hand movement. Please post any findings on here before Wednesday so that we can start to put a literature review together.
