TAPeD is a project at the Cognitive Interaction Technology, Center of Excellence (CITEC) at Bielefeld University, with the aim to develop an automatic prompting system in the healthcare domain.In comparison to systems applied in individual user's homes to prolong the user's independence in everyday life [2], we aim to develop a system for a residential home where persons with different cognitive disabilities live together and share the same system.We cooperate with Haus Bersaba, a residential home belonging to v. Bodelschwinghsche Stiftungen Bethel which is a care facility in Bielefeld, Germany.Our user group has problems fulfilling Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), in particular in brushing teeth.We describe the progress of development towards an automatic prompting system assisting in brushing teeth and give an overview of our project from a machine learning perspective.
