Those actions are known in the Space Community as Countermeasure. The actions to mitigate the induced impairments include physical exercises, diet and medication that addresses the preparation before, the protection during and respectively the recovery after the spaceflight. The threats of MICE (Microgravity, Isolation And Confined Environment) and of radiation exposure in Space induce harmful changes at the muscle-skeletal, neurological, cardio-vascular, immune, respiratory, ophthalmic, hormonal systems level as well as in the psycho-mental performance of humans. The efforts for develop new space missions beyond low Earth orbit involve a lot of bioengineering application such as: life support systems that provide a longer periods of time for living in space, development of more efficient scientific instruments and technologies compatible with space exploration, space medicine and telemedicine, water recovery, waste management and more others.

The session welcomes papers addressing the following areas (but not limited): Augmentative and alternative communication, Assistive technology for visual impairment, Personal emergency response systems, Mobility impairment and wheelchairs, Assistive technology in sport, Assistive technology in education. In this context the aim of the session is to present and discuss the advances in the research and development of assistive devices and to offer opportunities to the researchers, scientists, and engineers to change ideas, to share knowledge and experience in the field of assistive technology. Nowadays assistive technology includes assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative products and services that are used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with many types of disabilities, from cognitive problems to physical impairments.Īssistive technology promotes greater independence by enabling people with disabilities to perform tasks that they were formerly unable to accomplish, or had great difficulty accomplishing, by providing devices, or changing methods of interacting with the technology needed to accomplish such tasks.
