ABSTRACT

In this paper we describe a TV-based reminder system for helping people with cognitive disabilities get to appointments on time and with the items they need. The TVBox uses a person's own TV to deliver reminders about trips that the person needs to make. The TVBox is also used to make sure that the person has the items that they need when at their destination.
