“…Intelligent assistive devices have also been used to support independent navigation [14][15][16] . Commercially available positioning and navigation systems (e.g., GPS) provide the same type of directions (e.g., small visual display, audio prompts) regardless of the users capabilities, and typically cannot provide the specific assistance required by a person with dementia.…”

“…Commercially available positioning and navigation systems (e.g., GPS) provide the same type of directions (e.g., small visual display, audio prompts) regardless of the users capabilities, and typically cannot provide the specific assistance required by a person with dementia. Systems such as the navigation tools developed as part of the Assisted Cognition project 14,15 provide GPS functionality to cognitively impaired users. Customized user interfaces and artificially intelligent decision making enable people with cognitive challenges to navigate outdoors without requiring implicit user input.…”

“…Using an orientation device the user is sufficiently autonomous to travel between his current location to a predefined destination. Current approaches focus essentially on the guidance activity, giving more attention to the information display and to the communication with a caregiver [5,12,9]. In order to be capable to correctly use such applications there is the need of a training period in which the person with cognitive disabilities has to lear how to use the application.…”

Nowadays, progress is constant and inherent to a living society. This may occur in different arenas, namely in mathematical evaluation and healthcare. Assistive technologies are a topic under this evolution, being extremely important in helping users with diminished capabilities (physical, sensory, intellectual). These technologies assist people in tasks that were difficult or impossible to execute. A common diminished task is orientation, which is crucial for the user autonomy. The adaptation to such technologies should require the minimum effort possible in order to enable the person to use devices that convey assistive functionalities. There are several solutions that help a human being to travel between two different locations, however their authors are essentially concerned with the guidance method, giving special attention to the user interface. The CogHelper system aims to overcome these systems by applying a framework of Speculative Computation, which adds a prediction feature for the next user movement giving an anticipation ability to the system. Thus, an alert is triggered before the user turn towards an incorrect path. The travelling path is also adjusted to the user preferences through a trajectory mining module.

Abstract. Technology is present in almost every simple aspect of the people's daily life. As an instance, let us refer to the smartphone. This device is usually equipped with a GPS module which may be used as an orientation system, if it carries the right functionalities. The problem is that these applications may be complex to operate and may not be within the bounds of everybody.Therefore, the main goal here is to develop an orientation system that may help people with cognitive disabilities in their day-to-day journeys, when the caregivers are absent. On the other hand, to keep paid helpers aware of the current location of the disable people, it will be also considered a localization system. Knowing their current locations, caregivers may engage in others activities without neglecting their prime work, and, at the same time, turning people with cognitive disabilities more independent.
