Riassunto (Italiano)
This work of PhD Thesis focuses on technology dedicated to persons with disabilities.
This category of devices is known in the academic field and also on the market with the term of Assistive Technology.
This name in fact indicates a series of technological solutions that can assist people with disabilities during everyday life and often return to the user one or more skills such as walk, talk, play or trivially change channels when watching television.
In the elaborate some of the major contributions made by the candidate to the field of Assistive Technology are presented.
However, to better understand the dynamics and the scene of the Assistive Technology worldwide, also the most important and current issues of this field, both technological and economics, are described.
