最近，远程协助服务的设计和开发在医疗保健领域得到了广泛的关注。随着社会中受抚养人（老年人、残疾人用户）比例的不断增加，远程协助和远程监控平台将在提供高效、经济的远程护理方面发挥重要作用。它将允许老年人或残疾人保持独立性，并减轻护理人员的护理负担和费用。所提出的远程引导系统的概念是基于这样的想法：盲人行人可以通过远程护理人员的语音指令得到帮助，远程护理人员从视障人士（VIP）携带的摄像机接收实时视频流。基于信息通信技术的辅助工具存在视障人士接受度问题。在为 VIP 设计导航工具时，重要的是要考虑到限制他们采用辅助技术的因素。本文提出了一种针对 VIP 和盲人的基于远程指导的导航辅助系统，并报告了 VIP 对技术导航辅助态度的定性研究。
The design and development of tele-assistance services have taken a great consideration in the domain of healthcare lately. With the growing proportion of dependent people (ageing, disabled users) in the society, tele-assistance and tele-monitoring platforms will play a significant role to provide an efficient and economical remote care. It will allow aged or disabled persons to maintain their independence and lessen the burden and cost of care by caregivers. The concept of proposed tele-guidance system is based on the idea that a blind pedestrian can be assisted by spoken instructions from a remote caregiver who receives a live video stream from a camera carried by the visually impaired persons (VIP). The ICT based assistive tools have acceptance issues by visually impaired persons. It is important while designing navigation tools for the VIP to keep in view the factors that restrain them from the adoption of assistive technology. This paper presents a tele-guidance based navigation assistance system for the VIP and blind persons and reports a qualitative study about attitude of VIP towards technological navigation assistance.
