98社區身心障礙者照護體驗營

10/10下午我們到真善美中心
去了解他們的生活
那裡非常漂亮~
大頭說這樣充滿植物的環境可以使他們病情獲得改善
那邊占地也非常大有2000坪
是一個很好的環境
而他們職前訓練的工作坊以及洗車坊
也都在園區裡面
一開始他們會先選擇自己有興趣的工作
之後才開始長達4年的職前訓練
而這都有一整套的SOP
這部分也許配合工作提醒的部分
也許可以縮短職前訓練一年的時間
一個人也可以減少一年35萬的工作訓練花費
之後工作的情形
就服員每天都會去看
而這些工作地方遍佈桃園的中油洗車坊


















而在洗車坊有一個故事
有個學員"阿亮"
雖然他是中度的身心障礙患者
但是在他工作的期間
他存了很大一筆錢
帶他的媽媽及妹妹(都是身心障礙患者)
去年前往北海道玩
(圖左阿亮圖右大頭)



















而他們工作非常有活力且都面帶笑容
當然該做的步驟一步也不會少~
更是不會馬虎
所以我想這不只是因為他們本身有一種
"雖然我的能力比別人差一點所以我更要認真工作"
的心態
當然真善美中心也是他們如此認真工作
好好珍惜每一天的一個重要原因

98社區身心障礙者照護講座

上禮拜10/10我跟彥儒
一起去參加學校的98社區身心障礙者照護體驗營
一開始是請真善美中心的講師"大頭"
來跟我們說一些中心的發展以及學員他們的生活或工作情形
你會發現~在那邊的學員
每個人都是充滿笑容.充滿活力的
即使他們的肢體不是很協調
但他們依然熱愛跳舞而且精力相當旺盛



















真善美中心~鮮少被人所熟知
因此經費申請或是善心人士捐獻較為困難
但他們還是提供很好的照護及安養環境
給這些身心障礙學員
讓他們更能夠好好的培養一技之長
甚至在那~找到人生的另一伴




之後~請到蔡威君教官
談談她的星兒小孩
雖然女兒罹患這種疾病
但從教官的談話中你可以知道
教官很堅強~甚至可以跟我們談笑風生
還以很幽默的方式談到照顧小孩的辛苦
以及要兼顧工作及照顧小孩的兩難
但是總在以為沒辦法時~上帝又開了一扇窗給她
也因此讓她更看到人生的另一面
也對人生有了新的體悟
她甚至還為女兒出了一本畫冊
12月多~圖書館會有發表會
我想~要是我有時間~我會去看看

1. Summary of :
Mobile Social Assistive Technology: a Case Study in Supported
Employment for People with Severe Mental Illness
 Introduction
Social networks represent both a collection of ties between people and the strength of those ties.
We review the existing research and commercial operation of mobile social network services.
 Related work of mobile social network services
Plazes , Jambo Networks ,and playtxt are just a few examples of commercial operations.
 MSNS system architecture
For the need of services that take place indoors, Wi-Fi location technology is selected instead of GPS.
 Prototype implementation and results
 Research settings
A MSNS prototype system is currently being developed to help people with severe mental illness.
 Prototype Implementations
The system can match the caregivers based on the service requester’s preferences and caregivers’
availability. The interface on the patient handheld is deliberately designed to be as simple as possible
so that it can address the needs of a larger portion of people with cognitive deficits.
 Experiments and ethnographic experiences
First, the program automatically starts itself when the PDA is powered on. This eliminates the need to
look for which program to start and saves several steps of stylus use before the program get started.
Second, the GUI of the program available to the target users is made deliberately simple.
For calling help, the HELP button is located in the middle of the screen color enhanced without other
distractions. That makes it easier in terms of training or activating the service in the real world.
A subject with mental retardation and epilepsy symptoms was in a habitual behavior of
procrastination before going to work. Occasionally she did forget the time and become late to the
work. As the job of a job coach was to make sure the employment opportunity of her trainees was not
jeopardized, her job coach found the alarm service particularly useful. Most of the time, the trainee
left home on time and the active alarm service picked up GPS signals at the designated time periods.
As a reassurance, her job coach also received confirmation from the notification service.
In rainy seasons, traffic jam could be caused by the weather. Knowing that the trainee was going to be
late for work was useful. Finding workable options to reduce the frequency of being late or absent
depended. Job coaches that we work with do not prefer “No news is good news” approach.
Involving caregivers in the design and experiments proves to be important. During the field
observations, none of the participants ever experienced getting lost. Our approach was aimed to
enhance the alarm function for assistive use. The alarm is triggered when the user does not leave
home or arrive at the workplace on time. Likewise, the system is also aware of the user leaving the
workplace too early or too late. In other words, the system takes both location and time into account,
instead of just time. This makes the alarm more useful to both the users and their caregivers. The
overall results of the evaluation showed us that the system was indeed usable and the target users
and caregivers were happy about using it and were looking forward to a full implementation.
 Limitations
The PDA with GPS turned on can last only 2 hours until the battery is low , and it limits the range that
a patient can receive the care described in the above. Future work will also consider the time it takes
for reaching a person, not just the distance.
 Conclusions
More advanced functions of the system can be summarized in three ways: (1) the system is able to
identify the caregivers within a distance from the target user, (2) the system is able to process the
HELP request issued by the target user and relay the message to matched caregivers nearby on a
personalized basis, (3) the system is able to handle the replies from caregivers and reach a dispatch
decision.


2. Summary of:
Cloud Computing Talk by KF Lee
 Cloud Computing - all applications and services are based on an open
standard to make any kind of device can easily access and use.
 Goal -make the majority of end-user be able to spend more than 95% time
of most work by the browser.
 Storage to lower costs
 Increased bandwidth
 Edit mode more facilitate
 Cloud Computing Solves Users’ Problem
 Attributes of “The Cloud”
. Data stored on the cloud
.Software & service on the cloud
-Access web browser
.Based on standards and protocols
.Accessible from any device
 User-Centered
 The services provided to let users are satisfied.
 The cloud Computing is a service to its center in the beginning.
 Use Google Docs to that task into a URL or web page
 Low-cost hardware
 Storage to lower costs that Google Data Center copy three file to
save while processing of information
 Parallel computing
 GFS ( Google File System )
 Big Table
 Map Reduce
 Cloud computing basic idea is: the information is no longer belonging to a
single PC or NB, but there are clouds.


3. Are there any differences in designing mobile service
applications and Internet services?
Mobile Social Assistive Technology:
By continually logging and time-stamping information about a user's activity,
location, and proximity to other users, the dynamics of large-scale human behavior
can be measured.
It is envisioned that handheld devices can be used as a means of social network
intervention, supplying introductions between two proximate people who do not
know each other.
Privacy control is an essential function required to ensure the secure process of
interacting with others. Mobile social network services handle the location
information of service requesters and users based on the express consent of both
parties to protect both sides from malicious users.
The proposed architecture uses mash-up of web services instead of the
middleware platform. Therefore much fewer APIs are actually needed. This
approach makes the architecture more modular and easier to leverage existing
web services such as Google Maps.
Cloud Computing:
Data and applications can all be stored on a network server, no longer need to run
on a computer; Second, any computer or terminal to open the browser, you can
enter their own world.
Future applications will be fully ported to the clouds, through the web browser you
can get all the content, but also can be done today need to make the contents of
the application software. Now, Google do not worry about storing some of its
software has been missing, because they are stored in the server inside the clouds.
The future is the data follow you go, you bought a new machine, do not worry
about copy over the data or the installation of new applications software, a
browser environment for all content, information, all in front of you had. Of course,
this is not just the PC, the future of mobile phone, television or other can also be
access to such information. The next you are at any time, any device can see all of
your information, do all your applications, all through a browser.
