SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON ASSISTIVE REHABILITATIVE ...

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.
