[Design of information tools on technical aids for front-line professionals working with people losing their autonomy]. / Conception de supports d'information sur les aides techniques pour les professionnels travaillant auprès de personnes en perte d'autonomie.

ABSTRACT

The use of technical aids has a positive impact on the autonomy and quality of life of elderly or disabled people, and is also beneficial for the caregivers and professionals who support them. Nevertheless, there are still major obstacles to their use, notably a general lack of information on technical aids. This observation led us to produce a set of information tools to help people better understand these aids and how to use them.
