Manufacturer's Information

Attention Control Systems Inc. developed PEAT to improve the lives of individuals with memory, attention, and cognitive deficits by helping them meet their daily goals on time with less assistance. Using Pocket PC technology, it guides the user throughout the day with automatic, dynamic, cue cards that prompt the user with sounds and pictures. Helpful feedback is shown including how much time remains until the current task is completed. It even provides links to names and notes related to the task. Caregivers can customize the views and functions to meet the user's needs and capabilities. One user might use the standard calendar while another might be restricted to the "cue only" mode. In addition, this scheduling system has an advanced entry feature that can "float" tasks that do not require an exact start time (such as going to the bank or shopping). Using this feature PEAT can automatically adjust the daily schedule should an unexpected task arise.
