About the authors
Dr. Jesse Hoey is an assistant professor in the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo. He is also an adjunct scientist at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute in Toronto, Canada and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Dundee, Scotland. His research focuses on planning and acting in large-scale real-world uncertain domains. He has published over 30 peer-reviewed scientific papers in highly visible journals and conferences. He won the Microsoft/AAAI Distinguished Contribution Award at the 2009 IJCAI Workshop on Intelligent Systems for Assisted Cognition for his paper on technology to facilitate creative expression in persons with dementia. He won the Best Paper award at the International Conference on Vision Systems (ICVS) in 2007 for his paper describing an assistive system during hand washing for persons with dementia. Dr. Hoey is program chair of the 2011 British Machine Vision Conference (BMVC).
Dr. Tizneem Jiancaro is a design researcher and writer. Her primary interest lies in developing accessible mainstream technologies for people with cognitive impairments. She is also a keen advocate of empathy-based design practice, having written in depth on this topic. Her background includes a dual Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering and Rehabilitation Science, and undergraduate degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Cognitive Science.
Dr. Alex Mihailidis is the Barbara G. Stymiest Research Chair in Rehabilitation Technology at the University of Toronto and Toronto Rehab Institute. He is a Professor in the Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy and in the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering, with a cross appointment in the Department of Computer Science (all at the University of Toronto). He has been conducting research in the field of pervasive computing and intelligent systems in health for the past 15 years, having published over 150 journal papers, conference papers, and abstracts in this field. He has specifically focused on the development of intelligent home systems for elder care and wellness, technology for children with autism, and adaptive tools for nurses and clinical applications.
