The design of serious games may offer insights on users' cognitive and physical behaviors while they try to accomplish structured tasks. In this study, we concentrate on the design principles of serious games that can be used for assessment, which we employed for our own design. To test our prototype, we conducted an experiment with control participants. Results from surveys, our collected game features, and sensor outputs were compared and analyzed with hypotheses based on previous research studies. Finally, we interpret the results of our experiment, and we describe issues and real life uncertainties that associate with sensor errors.","PeriodicalId":359504,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"555 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124288614","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}

An android application is installed in the user mobile to communicate with the MYO sensor through Bluetooth. Various functions in mobile phones can be performed such as, music control, call controls and navigation using the sensor. Tests and studies were conducted to monitor the feasibility of the MYO to capture gestures inside vehicles while driving.","PeriodicalId":359504,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122111969","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}

As a promising solution, smart homes try to make these people live on their own with less nursing care by providing appropriate cognitive assistance while carrying out activities. For the sake of providing adequate assistance, it is necessary to understand the real intentions of residents and recognize possible anomalous trends in time during the process of performing an activity. In this paper, we analyze the abnormal behavioral patterns caused by cognitive deficits and summarize them as cognitive errors which appear frequently among people with cognitive impairment. Cognitive error detectors are designed and integrated into a unified inference engine based on Formal Concept Analysis theory. The inference engine establishes a knowledge graph hierarchically representing the interrelations between indexed activities to recognize ongoing activities, and to detect predefined cognitive errors in behavioral data streams.","PeriodicalId":359504,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125017938","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}

Our scheme exploits a deep learning paradigm in order to isolate human's object from the background and then to perform tracking. Deep learning better emulates our brain by propagating the raw sensory inputs into \"deep\" levels of hierarchies. Network adaptation dynamically re-configures the network to fit current environment visual properties. This way, object classification accuracy and tracking is enriched. In the following step, geometrically properties from the detected human object takes place. This is performed by extracting real 3D measurements from the captured 2D image planes. Camera self-calibration methods through the extraction of vanishing points are considered in this context. The derived features are filtered using autoregressive models and filtered feature sequence are exploited as feature in a time delay neural network for performing the final fall detection. Semi-supervised learning strategies are exploited to enhance classification efficiency. Experimental results indicate the efficiency of our proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":359504,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129489868","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}

In this paper, we present relevant research evidence indicating that: (a) there is a significant negative correlation between patients' MMSE index and \"Programming Task Completion Time\" (PTCT) index, suggesting that PTCT can be used as a precursor of patients' general mental state; (b) MCI patients (treatment group) displayed significantly improved post-test performance in the \"Test of Everyday Attention\" when compared to a non-hospitalized non-otherwise treated control group. We conclude that available evidence encourage further investigation of the impact of programming tasks on MCI patients, as a cognitive training and assessment tool, in relation to important mental skills (such as analysis and planning) and cognitive processes such as attention.","PeriodicalId":359504,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130062456","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}

The proposed methodology is based on a fisheye camera model that employs a spherical optical element and central projection, which has been calibrated to allow extraction of 3D geometry clues as described in [11]. The proposed algorithm requires input from a video segmentation algorithm, generating segmented human silhouettes. The history of a person's real position, as well as his appearance in the form of R, G, B color values are utilized in the described methodology. According to initial experimentation, the proposed algorithm is able to track efficiently multiple silhouettes with prolonged partial or full occlusions and it can calculate the trajectory of each silhouette. The algorithm can operate in the presence of imperfect segmentation, with the persons moving in any direction with respect to the camera, thus producing radically different shapes and color appearances.","PeriodicalId":359504,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124887637","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}
