Assistive Technology is becoming an integral part of our daily live, supporting people in different areas, for example while driving a car or cognitive demanding tasks at work or home. Yet, existing Assistive Technology often only considers the current situational context and capabilities of a user. Here, we propose the concept of “Pro-adaptive Cognitive Assistive Technology” (Pro-CAT), that adapts to predictable, temporal changes in the users capabilities and contextual situation (e.g., general ageing processes, an expected course of a disease, learning progress during skill aquisition or environmental changes). Pro-CAT can have several advantages:
