“…Head-worn displays have been used to provide unobtrusive, always-available, and glanceable vocabulary support to individuals with Aphasia. It was found that a head-worn approach better allows wearers to maintain focus on the conversation, reduce reliance on the availability of external tools (e.g., paper and pen) or people, and minimize visibility of the support by others [59].…”

We have developed a system for automatic facial expression recognition running on Google Glass, delivering real-time social cues to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The system includes multiple mechanisms to engage children and their parents, who administer this technology within the home. We completed an at-home design trial with 14 families that used the learning aid over a 3-month period. We found that children with ASD generally respond well to wearing the system at home and opt for the most expressive feedback choice. We further evaluated app usage, facial engagement, and model accuracy. We found that the device can act as a powerful training aid when used periodically in the home, that interactive video content from wearable therapy sessions should be augmented with sufficient context about the content to produce long-term engagement, and that the design of wearable systems for children with ASD should be heavily dependent on the functioning level of the child. We contribute general design implications for developing wearable aids used by children with ASD and other behavioral disorders as well as their parents during at-home parent-administered therapy sessions.

“…While much of the public discourse around technology and people with disabilities tend to focus on problem areas, computing has in general had a revolutionary impact on inclusiveness and access for people with cognitive, developmental, intellectual, mental, physical, and sensory impairments [CP15]. The overall term for technologies that support disabled people in daily living is assistive technologies, and they include a range of devices from low-tech, mechanical ones, such as walkers and wheelchairs, to more technologically advanced ones, such as hearing aids and Cochlear implants for people with hearing impairments, and memory aids and conversation cues [WMMF15] to support cognitive impairment.…”

The majority of visualizations on the web are still stored as raster images, making them inaccessible to visually impaired users. We propose a deep‐neural‐network‐based approach that automatically recognizes key elements in a visualization, including a visualization type, graphical elements, labels, legends, and most importantly, the original data conveyed in the visualization. We leverage such extracted information to provide visually impaired people with the reading of the extracted information. Based on interviews with visually impaired users, we built a Google Chrome extension designed to work with screen reader software to automatically decode charts on a webpage using our pipeline. We compared the performance of the back‐end algorithm with existing methods and evaluated the utility using qualitative feedback from visually impaired users.

“…Diverse form factors have been explored, ranging from head-mounted devices (Hernandez, 2014), (Williams, 2015) to wristworn wearables (Ye, 2013). In terms of disciplines previously explored, existing studies were dedicated to gerontology, cardiology (Kim, 2016) and rehabilitation.…”

“…In terms of disciplines previously explored, existing studies were dedicated to gerontology, cardiology (Kim, 2016) and rehabilitation. The populations benefitting from wearable applications range from patients to care givers and practitioners, from babies to older adults, and from able-bodied users to users with special needs (Ye, 2013), (Williams, 2015), (Cella et al, 2017).…”

Wearable applications have a large potential to facilitate healthcare solutions in numerous domains. Smartwatches specifically, by being small, unobtrusive and collecting data continuously, are able to monitor users' activities and detect behavioral patterns. Besides enabling the analysis of users' data, smartwatch application can also provide prompt interventions when necessary. Through timely notifications, discreet alerts and emergency response, wrist-worn devices become versatile solutions that are able to accommodating requirements from several medical solutions. For mental health specifically, smartwatch applications provide numerous affordances. Their characterization is still unclear though. To understand how smartwatch applications have been appropriated as wearable solutions for mental health, we preformed a qualitative analysis of users' reviews and online discussions about existing applications in iTunes and Android Market. Most applications focus on interventions, rather than monitoring. They rely on multimodal contents to provide features. End users see benefits of these apps on the effectiveness of the interventions and customization features. Main drawbacks of existing applications are related to the lack of efficient privacy controls (exploitation by third-parties), early-stage designs (incompatibility and issues with updates) and limited features. In this paper, we discuss current solutions under the light of user experience, features available as well as the potential opportunities for future designs.Background: wearable applications have been extensively explored to address healthcare problems. In mental health, despite numerous mobile applications available, there are few smartwatch solutions in the market. Objective: to understand the current state-of-the-art smartwatch solutions for mental health, characterizing them in terms of features, benefits and drawbacks focusing on the end users' perspectives, to identify opportunities to improve nextgeneration solutions. Methods: a comprehensive analysis of the existing applications for Apple Watch dedicated to mental health care, to characterize their state-of-the-art and provide a unified view of existing solutions, an analysis of their purposes, features, and users' perspectives from online reviews and discussion boards to identify the main benefits and drawbacks with existing solutions Results: the applications analyzed focus mainly on intervention, rather than monitoring and tracking users' affective states; they also focus on wellness and wellbeing and the sources tend to be non-medical; multimodal contents are explored to provide interventions, including audio, images and vibration; users enjoy the customization options and tend to use the applications in a regular basis. Conclusions:there is a vast potential for wrist-worn applications for solutions in mental health, but the domain is still underexplored. Existing applications focus on interventions, and further development and research efforts are needed to advance on monitoring a...
