Designing technology to aid cognition

Published: 13 October 2008 Publication History

Abstract

We present a framework for technological aids for cognition intended primarily for individuals with cognitive impairments and seniors experiencing cognitive decline. We illustrate the framework with concrete research projects and near-term challenges.
