영문 초록

Elderly people with mild dementia often have difficulty to complete daily activities because of memory impairment. This paper proposes to use context-aware reminders to assist elders with mild dementia for their daily activities. four kinds of reminders are identified in our system, and the coordination among different reminders is particularly researched, leading to a novel scheduling mechanism and a context-aware prompting strategy. The scheduling mechanism resolves the reminder conflicts, and the context-aware prompting strategy ensures the completion of the reminded daily activities to the greatest extent. In order to facilitate the interaction between caregivers and the system, we also provide a reminder description model and a simple software tool for caregivers to create and edit the reminding services. Finally, some initial implementation results are presented.
