About this book series

The series publishes state-of-the-art short books on transformative technologies for health, wellness, and independent living. Our scope of publishing in the expanding health tech field includes:
 • Technology in support of active and healthy living and aging
 • Digital technologies for health- and social-care improvement
 • Diagnostic, screening, and tracking tools
 • Assistive and rehabilitative technologies
The series includes a subseries of books published in partnership with Canada’s AGE-WELL NCE that specifically addresses their 8 AgeTech Challenge Areas. Each lecture introduces the context in which the technology is used—wellness, health, medicine, special needs, or other contexts. Authors present and explain the technology and review promising applications and opportunities as well as limitations and challenges. They include material on their own work while surveying the broader landscape of related research, development, and impact.
