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.

FRR三篇論文

最近看了FRR的三篇論文
覺得跟我們zigbee的相關實驗有蠻多的關聯
例如採用多學科研究
一樣是幫助弱勢團體ex:老年人.傷殘人士
讓他們能自己去如廁,讓他們更加自主
他們也是真的找一群老年人.傷殘人士做實驗
並一步一步修改,達到最符合人體的設計
因此這次seminar打算報告FRR的論文
並把這三篇結合起來
去討論以及觀察它的發展

調查出一個完全可調整的智慧型廁所給需要的老人和傷殘人士-友好廁所 FRR

FRR (友好廁所)項目創建和評估的原型更用戶友好的智能廁所的老年人和為傷殘人士。此外,希望有老人或傷殘人士和他們的照顧者的記錄,應用於知識方面的需求。

介紹和目的
今天的許多廁所,在私營和公共場所都不能滿足的具體需要人民正面臨誰的身體和認知能力的局限性。而FRR項目進行必要的研究與設計的步驟,以建立和試驗樣機進行了友好廁所( FRR )為老年人和傷殘人士。

方法
根據多學科的辦法匯集財團最終用戶組織代表廣泛的歐洲國家,大學,研究和康復中心以及工業合作夥伴在該地區的工業和公共設計和衛生行業。

1. 用戶參與的,並收集用戶的需要-此項目涉及廣泛的用戶驅動的研究,以確定用戶參數設計和開發的FRR系統。這是通過申請社會研究方法(訪談,觀察,問卷調查,和次要的統計資料)和提到給予技術/設計方案所代表的不同FRR後代或FRR原型設計規格。

2. 用戶測試地點和倫理方面-每個站點配備了“物理原型廁所” ,以用戶的測試運行。建立和執行測試的用戶正在伴隨著道德評審,以確保保護的尊嚴和隱私的試驗者和用戶參與。此外,為了確保道德素質的持續工作中,評審也有助於開發新的視野,在設計過程中的親密的和敏感的問題上廁所,個人衛生和公共衛生作為心理和文化現象。

3. 定性研究與定量研究-主要任務之一的定性研究在FRR項目用戶測試,這是進行了幾個週期與一個相對較小的集團專門選定的用戶。技術數據測量由傳感器的原型。通過測試後,檢測後進行採訪。方法是基於“Theoretical Sampling理論取樣法”和“Grounded Theory理由論”。

4.迭代和用戶為中心的設計-基於電腦的採訪工具已經開發作為一種工具來得到反饋和反應從用戶,專業人士和專家,以不同的設計方案。 一開始研究的人體測量是由600位在荷蘭的長者用來作為參考在此FRR設計過程。


正在進行的活動和初步結果
1. 設計電腦界面-獲取用戶輸入的設計,電腦界面有不同的方法使用。開始的進程的專家用戶評價一套情景和素描。在此之後首次測試,驗證的同時語音接口和一個手持控制得到執行。語音界面由ScanSoft 建立在ASR 3200 (嵌入式系統)。

2.照明試驗和結論-圖2和3顯示試驗室(可用性實驗室)說,在已建成的考驗網站隆德。這是不可能使用一個標準的可用性實驗室,因為隱私方面參與廁所。大小的房間裡所確定的瑞典標準2.40米x 2.40米照度和對比度的問題與總的印象一直是重點測試隆德。馬桶和水槽是連接到供水和污水處理。 試驗室的設計與優化不同顏色之間的對比牆和地板之間,以及廁所/匯和牆壁。藍圖繪地帶木材安裝凡符合樓牆強調差異對比。
12個燈被安裝在試驗室:
•六照明裝置的牆壁上針對以上。
•兩個燈具與毛玻璃安裝在天花板上。
•三個燈安裝與毛玻璃周圍鏡子。
•一個焦點直接安裝在馬桶座。
毛玻璃和照明裝置指示選擇向上,因為許多視覺障礙的人更喜歡間接照明。
測試之間設立用品300和550 lux時,使用的最大效應燈具。
從用戶下面的測試可以得出結論:
•適應性照明是必要的•更多的照明條件下工作的sink( 380 lux坐在用戶和416 lux常設用戶是不夠的一些用戶視覺障礙) 。
•一個聚光燈的衛生間沒有足夠的用戶。•為了達到最佳的照明解決方案的測試時間延長的可能性。

3. 預置關於設定在高點-初步結果
這個原型是安裝在實驗室環境,無需連接到供水和污水處理。重點用戶測試,已被用戶限制在較低的部位,這意味著移動用戶與輪椅,拐杖或其他拐杖。

三種類型的最佳位置測量:
( 1 )最佳位置坐下=移動廁所,
( 2 )最佳位置坐在=使用的廁所和
( 3 )位置站立=轉回到輪椅(站立) 。
許多測試者使用的測試設備的時間約30-60分鐘,因此,幾個位置進行了試驗,其中一些人劃分的測試者最優。測定值的位於高點已經轉變使用校正公式,以便成為獨立於所造成的影響不同設計的馬桶和不同傾斜角度和不同的參數使用原型。 一些試運行進行。樣本包括17人( 7男, 10女) 15至82歲(平均53.5 ) ,部分老年人( 5人60歲以上)。試驗者部分使用輪椅,拐杖或棍棒。
總使用範圍高度是364毫米以五二九毫米。腿彎長度試驗者之間41 和49cm,身高156至183cm(平均168.2 ) 。人體測量數據(腿彎高度,身高)和首選(平均)坐姿沒有很大關聯。
更多目前正在做的工作,以確定的重要元素未來FRR系統。

討論與展望
多學科辦法的FRR項目是確保全視野,以拿出創新性和合理的辦法,是滿足用戶的需求和經濟的必需品。的一個重要特點FRR項目肯定是強大的用戶的參與,這也可以看出,在該項目的方式結構,尤其是與不同的用戶測試地點和獨立用戶板。
