Development of an Information Provision System for Attention Disorder Symptoms

Abstract

Spatial attention disorder, also known as unilateral spatial neglect (USN), and non-spatial attention disorder often co-occur after stroke. In previous studies, the development of an electronic USN test system has made it possible to record detailed test data that are impossible with paper-based testing. However, the method of providing information on the test data has not been investigated, and the USN test system is exclusively used for research purposes. Therefore, we developed a system to provide information on the models of attention disorders in different formats, such as numerical, graphical, and superimposed images. The developed information provision system can provide information according to the characteristics of the users. Evaluation experiment was confirmed that the system is effective to change the information provision format according to the subject.
