Development of web-based Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tools for people with rett syndrome in Activities of Daily Living (ADL)

---

Rett Syndrome occurs between one in 10000 to 15000 girls in Indonesia. In Hasan Sadikin Hospital, there is a girl that suffers from Rett Syndrome. Since Rett Syndrome patients have little-to-no speech capabilities, as well as hand movements, it is currently difficult to communicate with Rett Syndrome patients, especially with regards to Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Hence, a method to communicate with Rett Syndrome patient is being proposed, so that it would be easier for patients to communicate with the caregiver using Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Two of the methods are gaze-tracking and using head-pose. The methods tested consists of head-pose algorithm, gaze-tracking with Dlib, gaze-tracking with Haar-cascades, and EyeTribe, each tested under different scenarios first before tested to the patient. EyeTribe, head-pose and gaze-tracking algorithm with Dlib Library achieves good results, with the best results being at 50cm distance and with high light intensity, however the Rett Syndrome patient still needs training in order to use the application.
