Foil 30 Some Synergies between Education and Home Based Health Care

From Web Technology and Applications for Education CRPC Annual Meeting -- May 14-17 1996. by Geoffrey Fox


1 We are experimenting with home care terminals based on David Warner's "neat thing" sensory front-end, with rehabilitation and disabilities as initial application target.
  • We have rewritten original PC code in Java to allow Web Integration of sensory input and output
2 This allows Doctors to interact with Patients at the Home with Instruments monitoring their health
3 But it also allows Disabled access to Web and to Education on the Web as "neat thing" allow us to replace Mouse/Key board input with any measurable human signal
4 For structured data at least, we have full control over both Patient and User Interface.
  • If not enough "resolution" to move mouse, can replace clickable URL's by scrolled list in Java or JavaScript with clickable NEXT PREVIOUS GO or SKIP-10 URL's in list etc discrete buttons controlled by disabled
