项目摘要

This project seeks to explore how best to use novel arrangements of interactive and communication technologies to support the well being for people with limited mobility. Our broad approach will be to motivate people to extend or maintain their activities using a combination of mobile technology and interactive personalised games, presented in familiar ways. We wish to explore the utility of this approach in a range of arrangements spanning from indoor bed based setting, through restricted mobility settings in the home to outdoor settings. Consider, for example, a person in a hospital bed after a stroke; they want to improve their arm movement. A simple accelerometer based device on their wrist detects when they move their arm and their bedside television screen presents a view of the inside of their home. As they move their hand / at first maybe only a few inches (later as they get better they will have to move more) they will be able to 'walk around their house'. The premise we wish to explore is that this motivates them to move their hand / essential to recovering movement / but it also re-connects them with their home. In a similar set-up they could play a game with their children or the patient opposite. They can also continue using it at home. Another person may be able to walk outside, but their carer is anxious that they may become ill while out, or get lost. The same device monitors their position and activity / where are they? Are they standing, sitting, fallen? And playful games will be used to encourage them to be more active. The device connects them and their carer, making them both more confident. The device could also raise an alarm if they became ill and their carer would know where to find them.This scoping project will ascertain the utility and potential benefit of this approach by brining together a multidisciplinary research team with expertise in the clinical setting, experience in the technologies needed to realise this vision and in the participative user centred techniques needed to shape these technologies in partnership with those we seek to benefit. This project needs to directly address a number of key research questions: - How do we best personalise approaches and treatments to the needs of individuals?- What is the most appropriate content to engage and motivate people?-Which arrangement of sensing and communication technologies is most acceptable and useful? - How do we best assess effectiveness of the approach?- How might we scale up this approach across the healthcare system?

该项目旨在探索如何最好地使用互动和通信技术的新颖安排来支持机动性有限的人的健康。我们广泛的方法是通过移动技术和交互式个性化游戏的结合来激励人们扩展或维护活动，并以熟悉的方式呈现。我们希望在跨越基于室内床的设置的一系列安排中探索这种方法的实用性，通过在室外设置的限制移动设置到室外设置。例如，考虑一下中风后在医院病床上的一个人；他们想改善手臂运动。基于腕部的简单基于加速度计的设备可检测到何时移动手臂和床边电视屏幕，展示了房屋内部的景色。当他们移动手 /起初可能只有几英寸（以后，因为它们变得更好，他们必须移动更多），他们将能够“绕着他们的房子漫步”。我们希望探索的前提是，这促使他们移动自己的手 /对恢复运动的必要性 /但它也将他们与家联系起来。在类似的设置中，他们可以与孩子或对面的患者玩游戏。他们还可以在家中继续使用它。另一个人可能能够走到外面，但是他们的照顾者很担心他们可能在外出或迷路时生病。同一设备监视其位置和活动 /它们在哪里？他们站着，坐着，跌倒了吗？有趣的游戏将被用来鼓励他们更加活跃。该设备将它们和他们的护理人员连接起来，使它们都更加自信。如果他们生病了，并且他们的护理人员将知道该设备在哪里找到，则该设备也可能会引起警报。该范围的项目将通过在临床环境中具有专业知识的多学科研究团队来确定这种方法的实用性和潜在好处，这是实现这种愿景所需的技术经验以及在参与性用户中以这些技术为中心技术所需要的这些技术所需的这些技术的经验，以使这些技术受益于这些技术。该项目需要直接解决许多关键的研究问题： - 我们如何最好地个性化个人需求的方法和治疗方法？ - 什么是吸引和激励人们的最合适的内容？ - 哪种传感和交流技术的安排最可接受和有用？ - 我们如何最好地评估方法的有效性？ - 如何在医疗保健系统中扩展这种方法？
