Paper Abstract:
|
Technological devices help extending a persons sensory experience of the environment. From sensors to cameras, devices currently use embedded systems that can be used for the main goal they were designed but they can also be used for other objectives without additional costs of material or service subscription. Emotional assessment is a useful tool for students assessment of motivation and engagement on learning activities while it is also a valuable tool to evaluate elder mental status. On the other hand, the same devices are useful to monitor health risks in young and older individuals. The present work aims at tackling students dropout, by emotional reasons, and emotional problems of elderly people, both considered serious cases as the dropout in South America and ageing worldwide. Considering the identified needs, it is proposed an architecture that aims at supporting people in the learning process while providing advice and ensuring support in case of permanent or temporary cognitive disabilities. The present research work is in merged fields of education within the scope of ACACIA project and elderly support within the scope of CARELINK project. It is proposed a technological solution, based on a wearable, that covers a wide range of ages and different cognitive stages. |
