Hi Brett,
RE: Android Application for people with Brain Injury I apologise for the delay in reply but I have been creating the proof of concept for the project which took longer than I thought. The project is called Outminder and is designed to use the Android phone as an external memory for people with head injury, memory issues or learning difficulties. It stores the tasks you want to achieve outside of the home during the day and breaks them down into a linear pattern of steps. Here’s a trip to the doctors... 1. Leave home 2. Catch bus 3. Get off at correct stop 4. Go to doctors 5. Go to pharmacy 6. Catch bus home 7. Get off at correct stop 8. Walk to home We plan to make Outminder work out the correct pathway locations and timings for the journey by accessing most of Google applications including Google’s Maps (including Latitude and Navigate), Calendar, and Contacts. All the user need do is put in what they want to do during the day including anything that has a set appointment time and Outminder works out the pathway for all the journeys. I.e. the user simply says ‘Doctors at 2.15pm’, ‘Library’ and ‘Grocery Shopping ‘and Outminder breaks up the journey and works out which bus to catch and at what time etc... As long as the user is in the correct place (via GPS Lat/Long) at the correct time Outminder signs each step off as completed. Should the user not reach a location within the time specified it alerts the user and asks what they want to do to resolve the issue. We have a website where we are planning to invite those people who want to help us to join and each person will be given an element to work on that matches their availability and time. You can join to follow how we progress. . I need a Gmail email address for you so I can invite you to join us. It need not be your personal one, simply one you have set up for the project. I hope you forgive the long pause in writing but when you see the proof of concept I have created you will see why it took me so long. It is available on the Google website for you to download to your emulator or phone once I have your Gmail address to invite you to join. Many thanks for your kind offer. Look forward to hearing from you soon Fred Deer Outminder On Oct 23, 5:11 pm, Bret Foreman <[email protected]> wrote: > Cognitive science is a great hobby of mine.
