In order to develop a better understanding of what a project like this could do for its users. I wanted to interview some people who have experience with caring for individuals who have memory loss or learning difficulties.
Assist Me – Concept Interview
Assist Me is a concept for an application that can be used on any smartphone and tablet which aims to aid people with memory loss or who struggle with daily activities. Assist Me will use your smartphones camera to scan everyday items and the play a short instructional animation on how to complete tasks.
This concept will hopefully allow people with difficulties doing everyday tasks to maintain their independence and allow them to take control in their own lives. Family members can also benefit by knowing that they have a guide on how to do tasks and they could also add the option of monitoring individuals to see progress.
What involvement do you have with people that have learning difficulties?
What everyday tasks do you find that individuals often struggle with?
Do you believe that the introduction of technology could help aid individuals that struggle with everyday activities? And how?
Do you think that a rewards system would be helpful to encourage individuals to progress with daily activities?
Should a reminder option be available for tasks that need completing at certain times of the day? (i.e. brushing teeth every morning and night)
Do you think that it is important for a parent / teacher / guardian to be able to monitor progress and set tasks?
How do you think this concept could improve an individual’s quality of life?
Are there any other things that you would like to see included in this concept?
Please add any other comments.
