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)
電腦軟體在幫助有認知障礙的個體方面已經取得了顯著的成效。個性化使用者介面是為這些使用者設計軟體的重要策略，因為傳統使用者介面對於認知障礙者造成了障礙。認知輔助技術（Cognitive Assistive Technology, CAT）通常用於提供日常活動的幫助，而不僅限於認知復健治療。本書描述了在認知義肢研究所（Institute for Cognitive Prosthetics）進行的二十五年的計算機研發，重點關注因腦部受傷而有認知障礙的個體的需求。人機互動（Human Computer Interaction, HCI）中的模型和方法特別有價值，最初用於揭示這些需求。隨後，HCI 方法擴展了 CAT，使其成為強大的復健治療工具，恢復了一些對傳統治療抵抗的受損認知能力。以病人為中心的設計（Patient-Centered Design, PCD）作為一種設計方法論，結合了臨床和技術因素。PCD 也利用病人重新設計和完善使用者介面的能力，實現使用者與系統之間的良好契合。認知義肢遠程復健（Cognitive Prosthetics Telerehabilitation）是一種強大的治療模式。其基本特徵包括在病人自己的家中提供服務，將病人的優先活動作為治療的重點，使用應用以病人為中心設計的認知義肢軟體，並通過視頻會議在治療師和病人之間共享工作空間。認知義肢遠程復健對於許多參與腦部受傷復健的利益相關者來說，具有豐富的優勢。
