Project objectives
CIRDO Industrial Research is a project aimed at developing an “Intelligent Finger and Eye Reactive Companion” that represents an enhanced and automated social tele-link product through the integration of innovative services (automatic speech recognition, situation analysis (scenes) in a complex uncontrolled environment) aimed at promoting the autonomy and management by caregivers, patients with chronic diseases or Alzheimer’s or related disorders.
Moreover, this project will allow the validation of generic technologies, a psychological and ergonomic evaluation of the uses of the services developed (concerning utility, usability and accessibility, acceptance, ethical aspects, the economic model,…) but also critical surveys of the knowledge acquired by human services professionals (SAP), which will then be transferred to the entire sector.
During this project, GETALP will record speech with elderly volunteers. A brochure has been published to inform people who would like to participate in this experiment.
