  4. Problematic : Social Context • In Quebec, people with cognitive deficits • Dementia : 5.1% of elderly • Head injury : 3000 new cases each year • Schizophrenia : 1% of the population • Mental retardation : 3% of the population • Home care • People wish to stay at home • Scarcity of resources • Proxy burden • Economical cost • Needs • Assistance at home • Telehealth

  5. Smart home and home careOBJECTIVES • Facilitate stay at home for people with cognitive impairments • Compensate cognitive deficits thanks to environnemental cues • Appropriated to the context • Personnalized • According to the cognitive deficits • Easy to use • Put caregivers in the loop • Reduce anxiety and burden • Facilitate communication with caregivers

  6. Archipel Assistance at home Activities monitoring Complex recipes Smart home cues Touch screen Audio Tangible interface Experimentation 12 adults with mental retardation MOBUS Outdoors assistance Mobile computing GPS Functionnalities Agenda, Symptoms notebook, Caregiver communication Contextual information Experimentation 4 + 6 Adults with schizophrenia 4 Adults with cognitive deficits Prototypes

  7. Experimentation Lessons • User definition • People with cognitive impairments • Caregivers • Participative design • Involving users at the beginning • Technology based on users needs • Change in habits • Data collection • Ecological data • Logs, questionnaries • Technology appropriation • Various way of using the technology proposed

  8. Conclusion • Smart home used to • Foster autonomy • Support caregivers • Various interventions • Cognitive assistance • Tele health • Medical monitoring • Medical staff and families involvment • Scope of the project • Use what exists • Integrate different parts in a whole • Interdisciplinary Research • Bottom-up Research

  9. Thank you • www.domus.usherbrooke.ca

  10. Indoors prototype : Archipel • Activity monitoring • Complex recipes • Able to use technology • Able to cook unknown recipe • Less advices needed when technology is used • Proud of using technology and cook by themselves • Acceptability from medical staff

  11. Outdoors prototype : MOBUS • Mobile assistant • Keep it simple • Able to use technology • Proud of using technology • Acceptability from medical staff • Change in habits

  12. DOMUS: a smart home inside the university

  13. Towards Tomorrow • A dramatic change is needed • Adapt envionment to people with cognitive deficits • As our society has changed the environment for people with physical and perceptual deficits in 80’s, so we have to do for people with cognitive deficits. • Change our approach in health services while providing continuous and appropriate assistance • To prevent risks • To ensure good habits • Cognitive assistance and TeleHealth are part of the solution

  14. Thank you
