Knowledge-driven profile dynamics
Fermé, Eduardo; Garapa, Marco; Reis, Maurício D. L.; Almeida, Yuri; Paulino, Teresa; Mariana Rodrigues; Garapa, MarcoIn the last decades, user profiles have been used in several areas of information technology. In the literature, most research works, and systems focus on the creation of profiles (using Data Mining techniques based on user’s navigation or interaction history). In general, the dynamics of profiles are made by means of a systematic recreation of the profiles, without using the previous profiles. In this paper we...
TREINO COGNITIVO NO PÓS-AVC: UM ESTUDO-PILOTO COM A PLATAFORMA NEUROAIREH@B
Câmara, Joana; Paulino, Teresa; Spínola, Mónica; Branco, Diogo; Cameirão, Mónica; Faria, Ana Lúcia; Ferreira, Luis; Moreira, André; Silva, Ana RitaO treino cognitivo (TC) através das novas tecnologias representa uma estratégia de intervenção promissora na mitigação dos défices cognitivos pós-AVC. Neste estudo-piloto, avaliamos o impacto a curto prazo de um novo sistema de TC com maior validade ecológica – a plataforma NeuroAIreh@b –, numa amostra de sobreviventes de AVC na fase crónica. Recrutámos dez sobreviventes de AVC que foram submetidos a uma avalia...
Characterizing the use of interactive technologies for cognitive rehabilitation...
Paulino, Teresa; Cameirão, Mónica S.The increasing predominance of cognitive deficits following neurological conditions such as dementia and stroke is a major concern in Portugal. Cognitive rehabilitation has been shown to be fundamental to alleviate some of the deficits, but it is not always customized to the specific profile of each patient. More critically, patients typically do not have rehabilitation while they are in the waiting list or aft...
Comparing adaptive cognitive training in virtual reality and paper-pencil in a ...
Faria, Ana Lúcia; Paulino, Teresa; Bermúdez i Badia, SergiThe growing number of people with cognitive deficits creates an urgent need for new cognitive training solutions. Paper-and-pencil tasks are still widely used for cognitive rehabilitation despite the proliferation of new computer-based methods, like VR-based simulations of ADL’s. The health professionals’ resistance in adopting new tools might be explained by the small number of validation trials. Studies have ...
Reh@City v2.0: a comprehensive virtual reality cognitive training system based ...
Paulino, Teresa; Faria, Ana Lúcia; Bermúdez i Badia, SergiCognitive impairments are among the most common age-related disabilities worldwide. Literature has shown that cognitive training using Virtual Reality (VR) systems can be a valid and effective solution for cognitive rehabilitation. Virtual environments can be easily customized to deliver very specific training by controlling the presentation of stimuli and keeping track of the user responses. Reh@City (RC) is a...
Is it necessary to show virtual limbs in action observation neurorehabilitation...
Modroño, Cristián; Bermúdez, Sergi; Cameirão, Mónica; Pereira, Fábio; Paulino, Teresa; Marcano, Francisco; Hernández-Martín, EstefaníaAction observation neurorehabilitation systems are usually based on the observation of a virtual limb performing different kinds of actions. In this way, the activity in the frontoparietal Mirror Neuron System is enhanced, which can be helpful to rehabilitate stroke patients. However, the presence of limbs in such systems might not be necessary to produce mirror activity, for example, frontoparietal mirror acti...
Design and implementation of an integrative system for configurable exergames t...
Paulino, TeresaExergames have been proposed as a solution for the promotion of physical activity in the senior population. The diversity of needs and limitations of the target users demand that the exergaming systems allow the configuration and adjustment of game parameters according to each user profile. Such systems are ideal to use in nursing homes, senior gymnasiums, or even rehabilitation centers. Health and sports profe...
Augmented Human Assistance (AHA)
Bermúdez i Badia, Sergi; Odekerken-Schröder, Gaby; Mahr, Dominik; Čaić, Martina; Lee, Min Hun; Siewiorek, Dan; Smailagic, Assim; Gamboa, HugoAging and sedentarism are two main challenges for social and health systems in modern societies. To face these challenges a new generation of ICT based solutions is being developed to promote active aging, prevent sedentarism and find new tools to support the large populations of patients that suffer chronic conditions as result of aging. Such solutions have the potential to transform healthcare by optimizing r...
The monarch room: an interactive system for visualization of global migration data
Caraban, Ana; Paulino, Teresa; Pereira, Ricardo; Spence, Robert; Campos, PedroRepresentation, presentation and interaction are subjects that require to be consciously contemplated while designing information visualization systems. This paper describes the ideation and design process of The Monarch Room, an information visualization system of global migration data. Our solution was designed to allow visitors of a museum to select, browse and interact with a visual interactive representati...
" In search of light": enhancing touristic recommender services with local weat...
Dionisio, Mara; Paulino, Teresa; Suri, Trisha; Autzen, Nicolas; Schöning, JohannesMany destinations’ economies strongly rely on tourism. Therefore, it is crucial to meet tourists’ expectations, so they will return to the destination. The geographical formation of certain touristic islands often leads to local climates where it can be rainy and windy on one side of the island, whereas the other part is sunny. In this paper, we present a novel use for a network of sensors, LightBeam, a mobile ...
