A person's ability to be independent is dependent on his or her overall health,
mobility, and ability to complete activities of daily living. Intelligent
assistive technologies (IATs) are devices that incorporate context into their
decision-making process, which enables them to provide customised and dynamic
assistance in an appropriate manner. IATs have tremendous potential to support
people with cognitive impairments as they can be used to support many facets of
well-being; from augmenting memory and decision making tasks to providing
autonomous and early detection of possible changes in health. This paper presents
IATs that are currently in development in the research community to support tasks
that can be impacted by compromised cognition. While they are not yet ready for
the general public, these devices showcase the capabilities of technologies one
can expect to see in the consumer marketplace in the near future.
