该项目开发并评估了一种基于智能手机的系统，以改善认知障碍者的流动性和交通便利性。拟议的系统旨在使认知障碍者能够更方便和安全地使用公共交通系统、社区交通和残疾人专用交通服务。有认知障碍的人通常无法操作汽车，或者在恢复驾驶之前可能需要较长的恢复期。公共交通系统是让这些人保持独立的重要手段。然而，公共交通系统可能对认知障碍患者构成重大挑战。该项目的目标是开发一个系统，通过技术解决方案减少这些障碍，该解决方案包括为认知障碍用户及其护理人员或家庭成员开发的组件。第一个组件包括一个认知假肢装置，具有传统的记忆提示和提醒以及基于位置的自定义交通特定功能。这种认知移动助理将利用廉价、功能强大的智能手机的计算能力和GPS定位能力。第二个组件包括一个管理应用程序，它使护理人员能够通过互联网远程配置和编程提醒和转运功能。原型系统完成后，对认知障碍者和家庭成员或护理人员进行了试点人体测试，以评估两个系统组件的可用性和可接受性。
This project developed and evaluated a smartphone-based system to improve mobility and transportation access for the cognitively impaired. The proposed system is intended to allow the cognitively impaired to use public transportation systems, community transportation and dedicated transportation services for the disabled with greater ease and safety. Individuals with cognitive disabilities are often unable to operate an automobile, or may require a prolonged recovery period before resuming driving. Public transportation systems represent a significant means to allow these individuals to maintain independence. Yet public transportation systems can pose significant challenges to individuals with cognitive impairment. The goal of this project is to develop a system to reduce these barriers via a technological solution consisting of components developed both for the cognitively impaired user and their caregiver or family member. The first component consists of a cognitive prosthetic device featuring traditional memory cueing and reminders as well as custom location-based transportation specific functions. This cognitive mobility assistant will leverage the computing power and GPS location determination capabilities of inexpensive, powerful smart phones. The second component consists of a management application which offers caregivers the ability to configure and program the reminder and transit functions remotely via the Internet. Following completion of the prototype system a pilot human test was performed with cognitively disabled individuals and family members or caregivers to assess the usability and acceptability of both system components.
