Abstract(s)
As deficiências cognitivas afetam a capacidade de uma pessoa para realizar atividades diárias.
Existem evidências que sustentam o fato de que, por meio da reabilitação, é possível mitigar os
efeitos do declínio cognitivo. Embora abordagens tradicionais sejam amplamente aceites, tais
intervenções são limitadas devido ao tempo e aos recursos humanos. Com os avanços na tec nologia, novas soluções surgiram no campo das intervenções cognitivas computadorizadas. O
NeuroRehabLab Task Generator (NTG) é uma ferramenta online gratuita que gera facilmente
tarefas em papel e lápis altamente personalizadas que abordam vários domínios cognitivos. A
tese atual aprimora as capacidades do NTG, implementando o algoritmo de geração de tarefas
aleatórias do NTG e integrando-o em uma aplicação web. O foco da nova versão é o conteúdo in terativo, que permite aos usuários executar imediatamente as tarefas geradas, ao mesmo tempo
em que permite aos clínicos avaliar o desempenho do paciente. Propomos uma metodologia itera tiva na qual cada tarefa presente no NTG será adaptada, testada e avaliada.
Cognitive impairments affect a person’s ability to perform daily activities. There is evidence that support the fact that through rehabilitation it is possible to mitigate the effects of cognitive de terioration. Although traditional approaches are highly accepted, these interventions are lim ited due to time and human resources. With the advancements in technology, new solutions have emerged in the field of computerized cognitive interventions. The NeuroRehabLab Task Gener ator(NTG) is a free online web-tool that easily generates highly personalized paper-and-pencil tasks that address multiple cognitive domains. The current thesis, enhances the capabilities of the NTG, implementing the randomized task generation algorithm from NTG and integrating it into a web application. The focal point of the new version is the interactive content, that allows users to immediately perform the generated tasks, while also allowing clinicians to evaluate the patient’s performance. We propose an iterative methodology in which each task present in the NTG will be ported, tested and evaluated.
