We focus on the presentation of the human-centered design process that we have followed with the involvement of patients, informal caregivers, and healthcare professionals via the clinical pilot sites of the CAREPATH project. We elaborate the design challenges we have faced and present the iterative mock-ups that have been created in cooperation with end users to address these challenges and the final PEP design.","PeriodicalId":261969,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125992706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This contravenes the growing interest and legal pressure to produce accessible content. Three agents are involved in the production of a digital document; the digital format of the document, the authoring tool that creates the content according to the potential of said format and, finally, the author of the document. The most widespread digital formats (ODF, PDF/UA or HTML) offer the elements to potentially create documents with a high degree of accessibility, and therefore the attention should be directed to the authoring tools and the authors of the documents. The latter should be accounted for relevant elements in accessibility as the use of plain language or clarity in the presentation; however, authoring tools are primarily responsible for producing accessible documents. ATAG provides recommendations for authoring tools, but they are general (they apply to all authoring tools) and do not include any interaction requirements. This study proposes 15 recommendations that could provide a second level of depth in the requirements of authoring tools customized to word processors and that also include recommendations on the interaction design. To do this, the article classifies the different items that can be found in textual documents, starting from books as a superset of any textual document; subsequently, it describes the main barriers users face according to their functional diversity. The final result, based on the classification of the elements and the different ways of accessing the content, are 15 recommendations for textual documents authoring tools.","PeriodicalId":261969,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"18 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113957241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Embodied cognition, which is a new current of body thinking understanding understands the body and mind as a single unit in which there is no separation, can be inserted in learning experiences including Artificial Intelligence (AI). Thus, a form of implementation of AI is by using embodied agents, i.e. a software agent that interacts with the environment through a body. An application scenario can be the learning environment in which students’ attention is crucial since it is a facilitator of cognitive and behavioural performance, such as attention and learning performance. Embodied Pedagogical Agents, specifically might adapt according to student attentional states such as through attitudes and behaviours. Additionally, it enriches in social learning environment.","PeriodicalId":261969,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128830846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, informal caregivers do not feel sufficiently informed about suitable support measures and meeting their care tasks can pose a high burden on them. Therefore, in the nationally funded research project INGE an app was developed to implement quality-assured and outcome-oriented effective in-home care consultancy utilizing machine learning. Yet, data on home care are missing to build machine learning features. So, synthetic data generation was used in the INGE-project as compensation and improved later on by real data collected with the INGE app during in-home care consultancy visits. Outcomes of real data collection and the design of the INGE app will be presented in this paper.","PeriodicalId":261969,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126381472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Play is a right for everyone, but it is often negated to persons with disabilities both because their time is dedicated to other activities, such as therapies, and because of lack of appropriate tools and companions to play with. Robots have been proven as effective means to support development in persons with disabilities, since they provide unique opportunities and strong engagement. We present a framework to develop play situations based on robots and its application on some settings, with the aim of showing how effective, playful robots can be developed also using low-level technology at a relatively low cost. This may be a way to produce ad-hoc tools, adapted to specific situations, and, at the same time, to share experiences and ideas to foster the development of robots that can hardly reach a real market.","PeriodicalId":261969,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125095616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overall, each challenge took approximately 10 seconds to solve, and preferences scores were moderate. The error rates were high, but no significant difference was observed.
