Abstract | This paper presents and evaluates a novel approach for automatically recommending multimedia content for use in group reminiscence therapy for people with Alzheimers and other dementias. In recent years recommender systems have seen popularity in providing a personalised experience in information discovery tasks. This personalisation approach is naturally suited to tasks in healthcare, such as reminiscence therapy, where there has been a trend towards an increased emphasis on person-centred care. Building on recent work which has shown benefits to reminiscence therapy in a group setting, we develop and evaluate a system, REMPAD, which profiles people with Alzheimers and other dementias, and provides multimedia content tailored to a given group context. In this paper we present our system and approach, and report on a user trial in residential care settings. In our evaluation we examine the potential to use early-aggregation and late-aggregation of group member preferences using case-based reasoning combined with a content-based method. We evaluate with respect to accuracy, utility and perceived usefulness. The results overall are positive and we find that our best-performing approach uses early aggregation CBR combined with a content-based method. Also, under different evaluation criteria, we note different performances, with certain configurations of our approach providing better accuracy and others providing better utility. © 2013 ACM. |
Building on recent work which has shown benefits to reminiscence therapy in a group setting, we develop and evaluate a system, REMPAD, which profiles people with Alzheimers and other dementias, and provides multimedia content tailored to a given group context. Other factors which make identification of reminiscence materials a challenging task include generational and cultural barriers between the facilitator and person with dementia acquired communication difficulties in dementia and a lack of a collateral history to inform patient biography where such difficulties exist. However apart from the extra time required such a rigid approach limits flexibility in terms of adapting when a pre-planned stimulus has proven ineffective during a session and so sessions need to be dynamic and reactive to the circumstances of how it is unfolding. LRT typically involves individual sessions in which the person is guided chronologically through life experiences encouraged to evaluate them and may produce a life story book as a result. In facilitating a traditional RT group the SLT manages the selection of topics scheduling group composition and communicative interactions between and among group participants.
