“…Technology was also deployed within the microsystem ( n = 18; 28.1%) in interactions with caregivers, parents or the immediate environment. For example, Kosiedowski et al (2020) developed a smart platform that facilitated the interactions of people with pervasive support needs using non‐symbolic behaviours. A VOCA was also used for enhancing social contact (Lancioni et al, 2008; Lancioni, O'Reilly, et al, 2009; Stasolla et al, 2014).…”

“…Interventions in more than one system could have a beneficial effect on a person's functioning (Bronfenbrenner, 1979; Chadwick et al, 2019). For example, technology could be used in the classroom (Wehmeyer et al, 2004) and to communicate with caregivers (Kosiedowski et al, 2020).…”

BackgroundAlthough particular technologies can enhance the quality of life (QoL) of people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (we use the term pervasive support needs), their objectives and outcomes are understudied. A systematic literature review was therefore conducted to explore this topic.MethodA search of four databases yielded 64 studies. Data were extracted on their general characteristics, methods and sample characteristics as well as the technology types, QoL domains and application within ecological systems. A narrative synthesis was subsequently developed.ResultsMost of the studies applied assistive technology (AT) and focused on personal development and self‐determination on an individual level.ConclusionsTechnology can enhance the QoL of people with pervasive support needs. There are indications that although MT and UD‐based technology are used in practice, few studies have examined these technologies. Therefore, there is a knowledge gap regarding the kinds of technology that are used in practice.

“…The INSENSION project focuses on developing an information and communications technology (ICT) system that is able to recognize meaningful non-symbolic behaviour signals of people with PIMD and, by putting them into the context of what happens around a specific individual at the time of a given behaviour, it enables the needs of this person for use by assistive applications. The platform uses advances in computer vision and audio signal analysis to recognize facial expressions, gestures, vocalizations and physiological parameters (Kosiedowski et al , 2020). In addition, similar techniques are used to understand the context of the behaviours, which are extended by readings from ambient sensors.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine in what type of scenarios of daily life assistive technology such as the INSENSION system would provide considerable benefit for people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD). Design/methodology/approach A series of focus group workshops were held with relatives of people with PIMD and direct support professionals (DSPs), as well as experts in information and communications technology (ICT). They were oriented towards the design thinking approach and moderated as per the Disney method. Findings The participants identified transitions from known to unknown caregivers, provision of care during the night and the impact of external factors on a person’s mood as challenging situations within the PIMD context. Practical implications Solving these problems would lead to considerable benefits to the affected people. Based on the ideas gathered in workshops, three technological applications for the INSENSION system were derived, i.e. communication application, multimedia player and smart room devices, all of which will provide remedies in specific usage scenarios. Originality/value Methods drawing on the participant’s creativity in combination with the workshops’ multi-perspectivity facilitated a direct reference to the daily life of the target group. In this manner, the innovative ICT system INSENSION can be oriented towards the requirements of this vulnerable group.
