Smart behavior tracking system for People With Disabilities at the work place

Assistive technologies that implement the right solution for People with Disabilities (PWD) through innovative technological friendly interface can empower them to work normal at the workplace. Tracking PWDs movements and linking it to behavior algorithm is useful to inform their caregiver as well as alerting them for missing activities. Different tracking system can be used to determine PWDs´ location but this requires a proper algorithm to determine their behavior in order to assist them at the workplace. This paper presents a unified interface for PWD with multiple impairment conditions by supporting essential features for getting help information from the environment, helping them to communicate with others smartly, and providing flexible interface that is adaptable to meet their requirements. It also supports event and personal monitoring as well as location tracking to intervene if necessary and guide PWD to behave normally. This smart interface solution is being developed within the of SMARTDISABLE´s research project activities implemented to support PWDs at the workplace. This solution supports wide-spectra of PWD groups (11 groups with various combinations of disabilities) with ability to manage the system interface using multi-model ways of interactions and commanding through use of speech recognition engine, text-to-speech, Mic, and mouse/keyboard.
