Smart houses may be used as a tentative solution to overcome this situation. However, when one goes outside their premises, this alternative may become unusable. Indeed, due to the decreased orientation ability, caregivers may prevent these people from going out, as they may get lost. Therefore, we are developing a system for people with mild or moderate cognitive disabilities that guides the user through an augmented reality interface and provides a localization tool for caregivers. The orientation method implements a speculative computation module, thus the system may calculate and anticipate possible user mistakes and issue alerts before he takes the wrong path. Through a trajectory mining module, the path is also adjusted to user preferences. These two modules enable the system to adapt to the user.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/app8050742","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,8]],"date-time":"2018-05-08T12:15:03Z","timestamp":1525781703000},"page":"742","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Cognitive Assistants\u2014An Analysis and Future Trends Based on Speculative Default Reasoning"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3562-0117","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Ramos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Algoritmi Centre, Department of Informatics, University of Minho, 4710 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Tiago","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Informatics, Hitotsubashi, Chyoda-ku, Tokyo 101-8430, Japan"}]},{"given":"Ken","family":"Satoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Informatics, Hitotsubashi, Chyoda-ku, Tokyo 101-8430, Japan"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Neves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Algoritmi Centre, Department of Informatics, University of Minho, 4710 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Paulo","family":"Novais","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Algoritmi Centre, Department of Informatics, University of Minho, 4710 Braga, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"American Psychiatric Association (1994).
