Hcixdementia workshop: The role of technology and design in dementia

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

With an increasing amount of work within HCI targeting people who have dementia, it is important to understand the ways that various factors influence the technology that is designed for people with dementia, and the way individuals adopt and use (or don't use) this technology. A nuanced understanding of this is especially important given the ethical and logistical issues of designing for and with a population that still faces significant marginalization, and who (along with family, carers, and clinicians) are managing a condition as complex as dementia. This two-day workshop aims to bring together HCI researchers and members from the dementia care community, to explore three subthemes of cross-cultural and local experiences of dementia, creativity and dementia, and personhood & citizenship in dementia.
