摘要

精神障礙者在認知能力上的不足影響其在工作上的產能，讓精障者轉銜至支持性就業的機會減少，並降低精障者在職場上的工作週期。本研究經由長期的田野調查和民族誌的研究，觀察精障者在就業上的實地情況，了解在工作期間對於輔助科技的需求。本論文提出智慧型精障者工作指引提醒系統，其結合手持裝置與藍芽無線技術，為精障者建置具有情境感知能力之輔助科技，精障者可以透過輔具聲音、圖像、文字的來加強工作上的產能，彌補因認知障礙造成記憶力、組織、自我管理上的缺損，系統中的雙使用者端加強了學員與就服員的連結，減少就服員在給予支持的能量消耗。在系統原型建置完畢後，本研究針對系統進行概念驗證實驗，以模擬輔具在真實情境下的運作狀況，我們發現輔具情境感知的能力賦予使用者有更多的自主獨立性，而藍芽無線技術容易佈署、管理便利的特性，讓建置智慧型工作環境更加快速，藉此讓精障者在工作上得到更多的協助。

Difficulties in executing daily living tasks hamper the quality of life of many individuals with cognitive impairments who are otherwise physically mobile. For example, an adult with mental disorder may want to lead a more independent life and be capable of getting trained and keeping employed. Task prompting systems for the cognitively impaired have been developed for skill training of activities of daily living. Recently, supported employment programs targeted for people transiting from institutional to community care have created more demand of cognitive aids to increase their workplace independence. In collaboration with NGOs dedicated to supported employment programs, a novel Context-Aware Task Prompting system is presented in this research to increase work and life independence for cognitive-impaired patients such as people with traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, schizophrenia, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease.
