Abstract

In collaboration with NGOs dedicated to supported employment programs, we propose the use of MGuider in public transit systems: a novel mobile guiding and tracking service, 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.
