Abstract

Individuals with cognitive disabilities are often unable to live independently due to their inability to perform daily tasks. By providing socio-technical environments to increase their independence, they can have richer, fuller lives. MAPS (Memory Aiding Prompting System), provides a simple effective prompting system with an interface for caregivers designed to affect high rates of integration into daily life. MAPS contributes the base upon which a distributed support system can provide mobile, context-aware error detection and repair. The process of designing and evaluation of the MAPS system utilizes and extends HCI frameworks, such as distributed cognition, situated action and end-user programming.
