Robin: Enabling Independence For Individuals With Cognitive Disabilities Using Voice Assistive Technology
Abstract
Individuals diagnosed with dementia are often most concerned about loss of independence, defined as the ability to continue living in one's own home. Currently, assistive technologies that provide in-home cognitive support for those with degenerative brain diseases have not been widely adopted, and individuals often rely entirely on informal caregivers to aid them in planning and performing the daily activities that allow them to continue living independently. To help these individuals, we designed Robin, a conceptual context-aware assistive application that supports independent living for users with cognitive impairments by providing temporally and physically appropriate audio prompting for the routine tasks that are most important for health outcomes and life satisfaction.

In the citing paper
“All but two of our participants found this to be a challenge, replicating data from [18, 82, 83] and suggesting difficulty in remembering voice assistant commands.”

In the citing paper
“Prior research suggests that usability challenges like not remembering how to activate Google Home or communication breakdowns such as misinterpreted commands might be attributed to older adults’ lack of familiarity with newer devices such as voice assistants [18, 69, 82, 83].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
