Is co-design together with people with dementia always feasible? Designing for people with dementia is challenging, and co-design has been widely recognised as an effective approach to design products conform to participants’ needs. The inclusion of people with dementia provides designers with an authentic representation of dementia, regardless of stereotypes and assumptions. However, it is not always easy to implement co-design with people with dementia in practice. This paper examines the feasibility of co-design with people with dementia through reflective practice, semi-structured interviews with designers, and a rapid literature review. The study identifies three dualities of co-design, addressing three benefits …

As an uncured disease, a late diagnosis of dementia will lead to worsened symptoms. In developing countries like Indonesia, the number of people with dementia among the elderly is relatively increasing. This brings a potential challenge for socioeconomic sectors due to increased healthcare costs. Thus, in daily basics, recording cognitive function periodically is important. The diary is a medium to record frequent activity. Similar to a diary, through this research, The chatbot diary was developed to be used as a recording for cognitive function. A diary is also an observational tool within a generative methodology where users and designers are …

Living The Life: Evidence-Based Design And Evaluation Of Psychosocial Interventions With People With Dementia, Kristina Niedderer, Pui Ling Fung
IASDR Conference Series
Design is increasingly recognised as an important means to create and deliver psychosocial interventions for people living with early to mid-stage dementia to help manage impacts on cognitive and psychosocial health. Managing them is important, especially for people with a recent diagnosis, who may live 10 or more years and who want to live well. However, interventions often lack a sound evidence base, both in terms of designing as well as evaluation. This paper argues for the need to promote and further evidence-based designing and evaluation, using the example of the Living the Life mindful-reflective booklet, an evidence-based, self-administered psychosocial …
