Graphical User Interface
Motivation
As explained in the section Humanoid Robot, Pepper can interact with the PwD, its relatives and the Healthcare professional using 3 communication channels:
- Voice
- Tablet
- Gesture
For both redundancy of information (i.e. audio impaired patient) and for ease of interaction between PwD and any human we believe that making use of the tablet could be useful.
This section describe a first iteration of a graphical user interface that could be used on the tablet of Pepper.
High level description
In an ideal setup Pepper's tablet would be tactile and humans could either talk to Pepper or use the tablet to interactive with it. However, as the tablet of Pepper is not tactile in its current version, we made some design choices thinking that the tablet is mainly a visual support for the person interacting with Pepper to be aware of the possible actions to do.
The design of the visual is extremely simplistic as it needs to be used by users that are unfamiliar with technology.
Every page consist of:
- Neutral colour background
- A title page,
- Multiple coloured boxes that refers to either activities or setting up
- An emergency button, in case an external help is needed
Of course, the pages below can be seen as example, but they could be adapted to each patient's need. The activities can be tuned for the patient's need.
Landing Page
Patient Page
Patient's relative Page
Health care professional Page
