Designing Adaptive User Interfaces for People with Dementia: Findings from Participatory Research

This poster presents a participatory design approach focused on developing adaptive interfaces for assistive technologies targeting people with dementia (PwD). We applied this approach to the design of AUTONOMOUS, a smartwatch and smartphone-based intelligent solution that supports the execution of daily tasks. Involving PwD, caregivers, and healthcare professionals across iterative sessions, we identified key requirements such as personalisation, visual simplicity, and multisensory feedback, which inform both the design of AUTONOMOUS and future technologies for this population.
