1. Aims
Designing an efficient and adaptable assistive technology (AT)isintrinsicallydifficultsincethisprocess:
• involvesavarietyofexpertise(frominformation communi-cation technologiesto rehabilitationmedicine for example includingergonomics);
• mustcompensatefordifferentdisabilities(motor,sensoryand cognitive);
• must considerseverallevels of handicapdepending on the interactionbetweenpersonalfactorsthatoccursor notasa consequence of adisabilityand environmentalfactorsthat determinetheactivityofthepersonandthetasksbeing per-formed.

Research projects at the international level, such as the cardiac [2] andbraid [3] are currently definingroadmaps on methodsandtoolsfordesigningATandservicesintegratedthese AT.Numerousemergingscientificquestionsatvariousstepsof the AT design canbe found inthe literature. Some of them concern:
• theimplicationofagerelatedchangesincognitionAT[4,5]; • the variation in the ability of the disabled that involves definingadaptiveprocessofthehumancomputerinteraction componentoftheAT[5,6];
• the definition of a multidimensional assessment including usability,ethicalandsocialcriteria;
• the movement analysis as an input for the design of AT; for instance manipulability cuesto quantify the functional patient’sabilities[7];
• methodsandmodelsfortakingintoaccountallthe compo-nentsofsocialenvironmentofdisabledpersons;
• researchgroundedonsensorymotortheoriesofperceptionfor perceptualappliedfortheaccessibilityofdigitalspaces[8]; • the emerging of new discipline such as the
neuro-rehabilitation to better understand the process of motor learninginthecontextofrecoveryafteraneurallesion.
Thisdisciplineinvolveskinematicmodels,studiesontherole ofsensori-moteurinteraction,technologiesdedicatedto rehabil-itation,forexample[9].
These challenges can be addressed through a close col-laboration between different fields such as human computer interaction,cognition,movementanalysis,andergonomics,etc. withaverycloseinteractionwithenduserassociationand cli-nicians.

2. Resultsfortheperiod2011–2012
January17–19,2011:“theuseofICTforgreaterautonomy: interdisciplinaryresearch”.Thisconferenceofthreewhole-days wassponsoredbytheGDRSTICSanté.Theobjectiveswereto: • topresenttheprogressofcurrentworkonassistive
technolo-gies;
• todiscussontheplaceofre-educationcentre,clinicalteams bothonthedesignandevaluationprocess;
• toreviewcurrentinitiativesforethicconsideration.
Presentations have covered several fields: perception (analysis, characterization and modelling); movement stud-ies(biomechanicalmodellingneuro-rehabilitation);modelling tools of the human process for disabled and elderly people; designandevaluationmethodsofAT,etc.
November 29–30, 2012: workshop “bodily integration of technic”.Organized by N.Jarrasse and A.Roby-Brami(ISIR UPMC-CNRSUMR7222)andM.Maestrutti (Cetcopra, Uni-versitéParisPanthéonSorbonne)intheframeworkofDéfiSens CNRS (P.Sommer, CNRS Mission pour l’interdisciplinarité) with the support of ISCC-CNRS (V.Donzeau-Gouges, E.Kleinpeter,B.Brémont)andGDRSticsanté.Theworkshop wasorganizedinISIRand60personsparticipated.
Theobjective wastodevelopamultidisciplinary approach (physiology, robotics and anthropology) of the relationships betweenbodyandtechnologytakingasanexamplethe prosthe-sisfor the compensationof sensorimotor disabilities. Sixteen participants presented acontribution. The presentationswere organizedintofoursessions:
• toolsandtechnique;
• motorcontrolandprostheses;
• bodyanddisability;
• action,perceptionandenaction.
3. Futureplans(workinprogress)
Twomainmeetingsarepresentlyinprogress.Thefirstone willconcerntheroleofusestudiesintheiterativedesignprocess ofthealternativeaugmentativecommunicationaids(combining pictograms andtextmode).Thesecond onewill focusonthe analysisof10researchyearsonbraincomputerinterface(BCI). Feedback of tested BCI will be held on interaction with the themeBandwithGDRISISforthevalidationandidentification limitationsofthecurrentmethodsofsignalprocessing.
Thefutureworkswillalsofocusonstrengtheningthe inter-actions with theother topicsof thisGDR(mainly thetheme G, possibly leading to the definition of a joint action on the multidimensional assessment based on usability criteria and biomechanics cues). Wewill also establish aconnection with the actions of the “Defi-Sens” program of the CNRS (http://www.cnrs.fr/mi/spip.php?article58) and the ASSISTH network.Effortswillbepursuedtoreinforcethecollaboration onassistiveroboticswithGDRRobotique.
