Alexandre Alves Pereira Souza, Juliana Santos De Souza Hannum, Talles Marcelo Gonçalves De Andrade Barbosa . Downtracker - A System for Monitoring People with Down Syndrome at the Labour Market. International Journal of Computer Applications. 174, 18 ( Feb 2021), 48-52. DOI=10.5120/ijca2021921079
Abstract
Several studies in the literature describe the capacity for the autonomous development of people with atypical development when they are included in the professional environment, becoming individuals capable of making their own decisions. Besides, there are some obstacles to be overcome, such as the family overprotection that the subject is submitted until the individual can achieve his autonomy. Thus, this work presents an Android application called DownTracker, proposed to help monitor people with Down Syndrome (DS) by tracking the individual's real-time location and quantifying emotions and expressions all day long. DownTracker can perform the location tracking of the person with DS to guarantee their safety and autonomy and provide the individual's classification of emotions to help psychologists, teachers, and caregivers learn and assess their emotional state.
