随着社会上老年人的迅速增加，医疗资源相应地紧张起来，家庭保健将更加受到重视。通信技术的进步将使老年人和残疾人能够在舒适和安全的家中接受保健，消除昂贵和潜在危险的医院旅程。我们已经开发了一个原型网络虚拟系统，以帮助患有创伤性脑损伤，中风和帕金森病等疾病的患者的认知和运动康复。我们的虚拟厨房帮助患者重新培训重要的日常生活技能，如做饭任务。(C)2000爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
The rapid increase in the numbers of old people in society and the corresponding strain on medical resources will result in greater importance being placed on home health care. Advances in communications technologies will enable the old and disabled to receive health care ill the comfort and safety of their homes, eliminating costly and potentially hazardous journeys to hospital. We have developed a prototype networked virtual system to aid the cognitive and motor rehabilitation of patients suffering from conditions such as traumatic brain injury, stroke and Parkinsons disease. Our virtual kitchen aids the retraining of patients in important daily living skills such as meal preparation tasks. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
