  Exoskeletons for prevention and therapy
 
  Dear Sir or Madam,

The fact that technology is moving ever closer to the human body has long been part of our reality. With exoskeletons, technology‘s full support potential can be exploited – whether as an aid in rehabilitation after an illness or as a relief during physically strenuous work. Learn more about this in our Topic of the Month: Exoskeletons for prevention and therapy.

Have a nice day!

The University of Utah has developed a protocol for using robotic animals with older adults with dementia. Research has already held several sessions with people with cognitive impairment and found that the robotic animals do have an effect. With the introduction of Ageless Innovation's Joy For All Companion pets in 2015, widespread use of robotic pets as therapy "animals" seemed within reach.
