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


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
This allows Doctors to interact with Patients at the Home with Instruments monitoring their health
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
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
