Abstract :
In collaboration with NGOs dedicated to supported employment programs, a novel context-aware task prompting system (CATPro) is presented in this research to increase work and life independence for cognitive-impaired patients such as people with traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, schizophrenia, dementia, and Alzheimer´s disease. Preliminary results show the prototype is very reliable and accurate with 100% prompting success.
