hi everyone my name is young susheen and
i'm a second year phd student at cornell
university
today i would like to share with you the
work that i did
with my colleagues lucha barankovic
janari and salah currently this work is
about
uxn interface designed for old others
with
mild cognitive impairment
mild cognitive impairment is a medical
condition
associated with loss of memory reduced
autonomy
and increased education in the united
states
it is estimated that 60 million people
struggle with
mci one symptom of mci is a loser of
prospective memory in psychology field
prospective memories are defined as the
process or skills
required to spread the fulfillment of an
intention
to perform a specific action in the
future
and the rules of prospect memory is a
primary factor
in decreased amount of the daily
activities
and decline in mental and physical
health
experienced by mci population
within the boundary of behavioral
science and hci
fields various attempts have been made
to design technology that support the
well-being of the old population
however there are not many existing
studies and design suggestions for the
mci population for this
reason this study aimed to design a new
type of
prospective memory aid for old others
with mci
in this process we utilize the design
thinking process
within the perspective of human-centered
design
to develop the design feasibility
prototype
we use the double diamond model along
with 20 graduate students from design
and
behavioral science field we attempted
to discover choral difficulties for
others in relation to mci with
prospective memory challenges
define the target user's pain point
develop possible technological features
and prototypes to address them
and deliver and evaluate final human
centered solution for the target user
we organized and facilitated a group
discussion in
every work subsection for eight weeks
including focus group interviews with
three other older adults
who are experiencing age-related memory
loss
multiple user needs assessment ergonomic
exploration of existing products and
ideal sketching and paper prototyping
with product
storyboards from the multi-layered
background research and design thinking
activities
we designed a ux flow or prospective
memory aid for mci population
and based on the ux flow we
designed a new interface pen coder which
supports prospective memory the design
of the pan coder is
intended to allow older dirt with nci
by enabling them to pick up a familiar
object
and use it with no complex learning
process the pen coder also utilize
three separate technological features
first digitization of text through
infrared cameras
second the automatic coding of items for
specific
lists and items on pan code application
and third automatic speech recognition
after that we had the final design
workflowshop to review
the whole design process and evaluate
the feasibility of
the interface for planning next step
with 27 libraries most
reviewers confirm the value of the
project
and many pro placed its ability to
inspire
hcci and ux researchers and
practitioners
to address the issue of aging and memory
loss
by utilizing human centric perspectives
and design thinking approaches
within three aspects first two rand
technology features that support
prospective memory second measurements
that access the effect of using this
kind of
tools and third longitudinal
perspectives for assessing
self-determination outcomes in everyday
interactions
