Consider user-centred design in the development of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation programs for people with dementia
Guidance
User-centered design should be considered in the development of any technology or computer-based program for cognitive rehabilitation in people with dementia.
Explanation and Examples
User-centered design is a methodology applied in the development of programs or new technologies for cognitive rehabilitation in people with dementia. This design takes into account the target population from the beginning to the end of the development process, with the aim of investigating their needs and expectations, developing a prototype that meets these needs and evaluating the final prototype based on usability and user experience criteria.
