“…People with impaired executive functioning could have their use of smartphone apps supported by a narrow-deep user interface. Technologies to support executive functioning have generally involved timely prompts to support the completion of several sub-tasks involved in an overall task; for example, to help with remembering each component of a morning routine, preparing a meal, or doing a vocational task [2,18,27]. In a narrow-deep UI, each screen could be considered a prompt about each component of the task of setting a reminder and therefore support the user's executive functioning to help them carry out the sub-tasks required to complete the overall task of setting a reminder.…”

People with memory impairments following an acquired brain injury stand to benefit from smartphone apps as memory aids. Due, in part, to usability issues they use smartphone-based reminding less than the general population. Evidence suggests this group may benefit from user interface (UI) designs with more screens with less information per screen (narrow-deep UI) rather than fewer screens with more information per screen (broad-shallow UI). This study compared the difference in speed, accuracy, guidance needed, and task load for 32 people with acquired brain injury when setting reminders using narrow-deep and broad-shallow UI. They were also given cognitive assessments (measuring selective attention, executive functioning, and overall executive and memory ability) and interviewed about their UI preference. There was a significant difference in accuracy; participants were less accurate (they made two more errors on average for every three reminders set) using a broad-shallow compared to narrow-deep UI. The reason for this difference was that participants omitted more information when using broad-shallow UI. There were no differences in speed, guidance required, and overall task-load. Participants with better selective attention and more experience with smartphones benefited the most from narrow-deep UI compared to broad-shallow UI. Most participants preferred one UI over the other. Those who preferred narrow-deep found it easier to use, that they missed less information and liked having one piece of information at a time. Those who preferred broad-shallow found it easier to review the information and felt less likely to lose track. The findings can inform that implementation of UI choices to make apps more accessible for those with cognitive impairments.

“…The application of each strategy results in one or more acts of assistance. Acts of assistance are interactions inviting the user to complete actions that are useful or necessary for the activity and for the user's safety [12]. For instance, if the oven remains on at the end of the meal preparation, Archipel pursues the objective that the user himself turns off the oven.…”

Assistive technologies can help cognitively impaired people in planning and memory tasks [1]. To provide efficient assistance, pervasive environments should be able to adapt assistance to the user's capacities, the activity to perform and the context. This paper presents an analysis of a cooking activity performed by a user with intellectual disability in a pervasive environment, named Archipel. The objective is to assess the impact of this environment on the activity processing. The activity analysis is based on ergonomic and neuropsychological methods. The results show that Archipel has a positive impact on the user's selfdetermination and independence. Further improvements should take into account the cognitive deficits presented by the people and ergonomic principles to provide more appropriate assistance.

This common objective motivated us to develop and evaluate a system that puts ubiquitous computing technologies into the rehabilitation process of people with acquired brain injury. Thus, in this paper we present and evaluate a system that shows adaptive manuals for daily life activities for people with acquired brain injury. This first evaluation allowed us to validate our approach and also to extract valuable information about these systems as well as environmental factors that may affect the patients.
