Context dependent application/event activation for people with various cognitive ability levels

摘要

The system includes a computer-readable memory having a data structure configured with electronic data indicative of the patient's cognitive ability and/or context information relevant to the patient. The computer system is programmed to dynamically present information based on the patient's cognitive ability and/or context, obtained by accessing the computer-readable memory. The system is thus able to dynamically customize the way the system interacts with the patient, dynamically rendering information and automatically launching specific applications and events based on set parameters to meet the assistive needs of the patient. The system also captures information about the patient's health and wellbeing which is dynamically communicated to the caregiver, which information is also in part based on cognitive ability of the patient and/or context.

1. A computer-implemented system for assisting persons of reduced cognitive ability, comprising:
a computer system that includes a memory having a data structure configured with electronic data indicative of a patient's cognitive ability; the computer system further including a patient device that runs plural diverse applications; the computer system being further programmed to automatically launch specific ones of said plural diverse applications on the patient device based on remotely provided information from a caregiver and to dynamically present information based on the patient's cognitive ability, ascertained by accessing said data structure, and based upon remotely provided information from the caregiver; and wherein said computer system includes an aural interface electronically producing speech messages and the electronic data indicative of the patient's cognitive ability is used to dynamically adjust at least one of speaking speed, vocabulary and grammatical complexity of the electronically produced speech messages.
