Investigating Day-to-day Experiences with Conversational Agents by Users with Traumatic Brain Injury
Published in Proceedings of the 25th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility, 2023
In this study, we gave nine adults with TBI an at-home conversation agent for four weeks to investigate use patterns, challenges, and design requirements, focusing particularly on injury-related use.

SMART-TBI: Design and Evaluation of the Social Media Accessibility and Rehabilitation Toolkit for Users with Traumatic Brain Injury
Published in ASSETS 2024, 2024
To improve access to and use of social media for users with TBI, we introduce the Social Media Accessibility and Rehabilitation Toolkit SMART-TBI. The toolkit includes five aids (Writing Aid, Interpretation Aid, Filter Mode, Focus Mode, and Facebook Customization) designed to address the cognitive and communicative needs of individuals with TBI. We asked eight users with moderate-severe TBI and five TBI rehabilitation experts to evaluate each aid.
