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

商品描述

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

商品描述(中文翻譯)

電腦軟體在幫助認知障礙者方面具有生產力。個人化使用者介面是設計針對這些使用者的軟體的重要策略,因為傳統使用者介面對於認知障礙者造成了障礙。認知輔助科技(CAT)通常用於提供日常活動的幫助,而不是認知康復治療。本書描述了認知假體研究與開發學院在認知障礙者(腦損傷)的需求上進行的四分之一世紀的計算研究與開發。人機互動(HCI)的模型和方法對於揭示這些需求尤其有價值。隨後,HCI方法擴展了CAT,成為強大的康復治療工具,恢復了一些無法通過傳統治療恢復的受損認知能力。以患者為中心的設計(PCD)出現為一種設計方法論,結合了臨床和技術因素。PCD還利用了患者重新設計和改進使用者介面的能力,實現了使用者和系統之間的非常良好的匹配。認知假體遠程康復是一種強大的治療模式。其關鍵特點是在患者自己的家中提供服務,以患者的優先活動為治療重點,使用應用了以患者為中心設計的認知假體軟體,並通過視訊會議在治療師和患者之間共享工作空間。認知假體遠程康復對於參與腦損傷康復的眾多利益相關者具有豐富的優勢。目錄:引言/腦損傷認知障礙領域的一些臨床特徵(以腦損傷為例)/適應電腦軟體以應對認知障礙/使用者介面的首要性/以患者為中心的設計/認知假體遠程康復/積極使用者和參與使用者/認知輔助科技的患者案例研究:成功與失敗/結論、影響結果的因素、異常和機會/參考文獻
