Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2008:2008:3304-7. doi: 10.1109/IEMBS.2008.4649911.

Abstract

In this paper we present a multimedia tool that allows personalisation and configuration of an assistive technology. We have developed a tool called HomePUI that allows configuration of three disease domains; cognitive, physical and chronic. In this paper we present the rationale for our work, details of the developed tool and also present two case studies in which the tool has been used within cognitive and chronic disease management domains.
