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.
