Abstract

Some embodiments perform a method for managing a person'"'"'s daily goals based on the person'"'"'s recent performance in completing certain of the daily goals. The method can include evaluating, by one or more processors, scheduling information associated with the person; evaluating a first set of activity information indicating the person'"'"'s capabilities; generating goals and tasks based on the scheduling information and the activity information; presenting, on a display device, a first content identifying a first group of the tasks to complete as part of achieving one of the goals; receiving a second set of activity information indicating the person'"'"'s capabilities in completing the first group of the tasks; modifying the goals based on the second set of activity information; presenting a second content indicating a second group of tasks to complete as part of achieving one of the modified goals.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for managing a person'"'"'s daily goals based on the person'"'"'s recent performance in completing certain of the daily goals, the method comprising:

evaluating, by one or more processors, scheduling information associated with the person;

evaluating a first activity information indicating the person'"'"'s capabilities;

generating goals and tasks based on the scheduling information and the activity information;

presenting, on a display device, a first content identifying a first group of the tasks to complete as part of achieving one of the goals;

receiving a second activity information indicating the person'"'"'s capabilities in completing the first group of the tasks;

modifying the goals based on the second activity information;

presenting a second content indicating a second group of tasks to complete as part of achieving one of the modified goals.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the second set of activity information includes touchscreen input indicating the person has completed one of the first group of the tasks.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the second set of activity information indicates the person'"'"'s capabilities are less than usual.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3, wherein the second group of tasks include activities requiring lesser capabilities from the person.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the first content includes a graphical user interface that presents an indication after ones of the first group of tasks are completed by the person.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the first activity information includes information about a rehabilitation process for the person, and wherein the modified goals attempt to expedite the rehabilitation process.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim I, wherein the second set of activity information includes information originating from smart home devices.

8. A computer program product for managing a person'"'"'s daily goals based on the person'"'"'s recent performance in completing certain of the daily goals, the computer program product comprising:

a computer readable storage medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code comprising a computer usable program code configured to;

evaluate, by one or more processors, scheduling information associated with the person;

evaluate a first set of activity information indicating the person'"'"'s capabilities;

generate goals and tasks based on the scheduling information and the activity information;

present, on a display device, a first content identifying a first group of the tasks to complete as part of achieving one of the goals;

receive a second set of activity information indicating the person'"'"'s capabilities in completing the first group of the tasks;

modify the goals based on the second set of activity information;

present a second content indicating a second group of tasks to complete as part of achieving one of the modified goals.

9. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein the second set of activity information includes touchscreen input indicating the person has completed one of the first group of the tasks.

10. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein the second set of activity information indicates the person'"'"'s capabilities are less than usual.

11. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the second group of tasks include activities requiring lesser capabilities from the person.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 8, wherein the second set of activity information includes information originating from smart home devices.

13. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein the first content includes a graphical user interface that presents an indication after ones of the first group of tasks are completed by the person.

14. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor;

a computer readable storage medium having computer usable program code that is executable on the at least one processor, the computer usable program code configured to;

evaluate, by one or more processors, scheduling information associated with the person;

evaluate a first set of activity information indicating the person'"'"'s capabilities;

generate goals and tasks based on the scheduling information and the activity information;

present, on a display device, a first content identifying a first group of the tasks to complete as part of achieving one of the goals;

receive a second set of activity information indicating the person'"'"'s capabilities in completing the first group of the tasks;

modify the goals based on the second set of activity information;

present a second content indicating a second group of tasks to complete as part of achieving one of the modified goals.

15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the second set of activity information includes touchscreen input indicating the person has completed one of the first group of the tasks.

16. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the second set of activity information indicates the person'"'"'s capabilities are less than usual.

17. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the second group of tasks include activities requiring lesser capabilities from the person.

18. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the second set of activity information includes information originating from smart home devices.

19. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the first content includes a graphical user interface that presents an indication after ones of the first group of tasks are completed by the person.

20. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the first set of activity information includes information about a rehabilitation process for the person, and wherein the modified goals attempt to expedite the rehabilitation process.
