Dementia encompasses a variety of conditions that degrade cognitive abilities, including problem-solving and memory. This, in turn, makes everyday tasks, such as operating a music player, more difficult in comparison to an able-bodied person. This project aims to tackle this by simplifying operation of a music player for the patient but still allowing more complex operations to occur remotely.
This project utilises a remote solution, providing Python files to interface with the device. Operations include: Switching Playlist (with shuffle functionality), Pausing and Skipping. The device also contains tangible artefact capabilities to switch playlists.
Conducting a combination of system testing and unit tests, all functions and modules passed, testing various input types including erroneous, valid and null. This project provides a functional prototype of a solution of an accessible media player with remote solution with plenty of room for expansion, including streamlining the setup process using Access Point capabilities and including more complex commands for remote management.
