This document discusses designing digital interfaces for people with cognitive impairments. It addresses who is affected, including those with cerebral palsy, elderly individuals, and those with traumatic brain injuries. Precedent projects are reviewed, such as COACH which uses video tracking to guide hand washing tasks. The document calls for further research into cognition, memory and impairment as well as screen-based accessibility. It suggests prototyping research aimed at specific tasks and evaluating user scenarios to solve problems for daily living activities.

- 2. Target adults for primary user group.
- 4. Activities of daily living (ADLs) Instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs)
- 6. Strategies that assist user with memory, attention, concentration, and executive functionality.
- 7. How can digital interfaces be best designed for people with cognitive impairments?
- 8. Who does this affect? • Developmentally Disabled • 800,000 children and adults in the United States are living with one or more of the symptoms of cerebral palsy. • Cognitive impairment is present in two thirds of patients with cerebral palsy. • Elderly • The number of people age 65 and older is expected to grow from 39 million in 2008 to 72 million in 2030, and the number of people with AD doubles for every 5-year interval beyond age 65. • Those with Traumatic Brain Injuries • Veterans, Automobile Crash Survivors, etc 1.

- 10. COACH “Cognitive Orthosis for Assisting aCtivities in the Home” Prompting device for guiding user through hand washing. Uses video tracking of the hands to determine which steps of the task have been completed. Provides audio prompts to keep the user on track. Precedent
- 11. Ambient Kitchen A lab-based replication of a real kitchen where careful design has hidden the additional technology, and allows both the evaluation of pervasive computing prototypes and the simultaneous capture of the multiple synchronized streams of sensor data. Precedent
