Abstract:
DESCRIPTION: This project will develop, design, and evaluate an interactive
multimedia software program to provide a decision support system for the
selection and implementation of assistive technology for memory and
organization. The system will use a decision support system to match technology
with the user; integrate "agent technology" (an animated character who will
interact with the user and provide a conversational interface) to facilitate
the interface between the user and the program; incorporate three-dimensional
models and simulation to allow the user to test the product; provide
integration with the world wide web for additional information, continual
updates, and interaction with other persons concerning use of assistive
devices. It is envisioned that this program will be marketed to persons who are
experiencing memory and organizational problems; their families and caregivers;
professionals; and university students and in-service professionals who are
preparing to work with memory-impaired individuals.
