Monitoring task performance
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring task performance, comprising:
- providing a number of sensors for monitoring the individual in performing a number of tasks from a list of tasks to be completed, wherein the number of tasks each include an associated number of steps to be completed by the individual;
monitoring the performance of a first task from the list by using at least one of the number of sensors;
providing the individual with a number of step instruction prompts associated with the steps of the first task;
obtaining task performance information corresponding to the performance of the first task by the individual, wherein the task performance information includes;
step prompt information including the number of step instruction prompts provided during performance of the first task; and
sensor data from the at least one of the number of sensors; and
adjusting the list of tasks to be completed based on the task performance information of the first task.

19. A system for monitoring task performance, comprising:
-
a number of fixed sensors located throughout a residence of the individual;
at least one portable sensor worn by the individual; and
a computing device in communication with the number of fixed sensors and the at least one portable sensor, the computing device including a memory having instructions storable thereon and executable by a processor thereof to perform a method that includes;
monitoring, by using at least one of the number of sensors, the performance of a first task from a list of tasks to be completed, wherein the number of tasks each include an associated number of steps to be completed by the individual;
providing the individual with a number of step instruction prompts corresponding to the associated number of steps of the first task;
obtaining task performance information corresponding to the performance of the first task by the individual, wherein the task performance information includes;
step prompt information including the number of step instruction prompts provided during performance of the first task; and
sensor data from the at least one of the number of sensors;
indicating that a particular step has been completed based on the sensor data; and
adjusting, based on the task performance information corresponding to the performance of the first task, the number of step instruction prompts provided to the individual in performing the first task on a subsequent occasion. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
