Patient-Centered Design of Cognitive Assistive Technology for Traumatic Brain Injury Telerehabilitation

摘要: Computer software has been productive in helping individuals with cognitive disabilities. Personalizing the user interface is an important strategy designing for these users, because of barriers created by conventional interfaces cognitively disabled. Cognitive assistive technology (CAT) typically used to provide help everyday activities, outside rehabilitation therapy. This book describes a quarter century computing R&D at Institute Prosthetics, focusing on needs disabilities from brain injury. Models and methods Human Interaction (HCI) have particularly valuable, initially illuminating those needs. Subsequently HCI expanded CAT be powerful therapy tools, restoring some damaged abilities which resisted Patient-Centered Design (PCD) emerged as design methodology incorporates both clinical technical factors. PCD also takes advantage patient's ability redesign refine interface, achieve very good fit between system. Prosthetics Telerehabilitation modality.
