people and their families in a specialist memory clinic
Key Questions
West London Cognitive

UI? Research Unit
•What is the response of family members?
•Which families are the most enthusiastic?
Positives
•Mild cognitively impaired older people engage with
user interface

families and healthcare professionals (eg Dementia

•“Digitally naive” users respond to interface and use
multitouch functionality

Negatives
•“Mum doesn’t do IT”
•Dementia - learning new skills = poor outcomes and
some confusion

children/family
