Abstract

This paper proposes a remote conversation support system for people with aphasia. The aim of our system is to improve the quality of lives (QoL) of people suffering cognitive disabilities. In this framework, a topic list is used as a conversation assistant in addition to the video phone. The important feature is sharing the focus of attention on the topic list between a patient and the communication partner over the network to facilitate distant communication. The results of two preliminary experiments indicate the potential of the system.
