Abstract :
This paper discusses a method of computational system rehabilitation for patients with aphasia. First, we discuss how to use smart devices for home aphasia rehabilitation based on the language ability approach. The system uses Tablet PC for rehabilitation device by its multi-modal communication interface. The system consists of use registration phase, photo registration phase, rehabilitation phase and evaluation phase. In the rehabilitation phase, this paper proposed exercise on recall from visual information to text information and that on recall from text information to visual information. Finally, we show preliminary experimental results of the proposed system, and discuss the future direction of computational system rehabilitation.
