Abstract

Engaging people with dementia in the design of technology is increasingly gaining more attention—and rightfully so. Yet to be sensitive and responsive to the variety of participants with dementia in different contexts and phases of a design process can be challenging. In this case-study, we applied retrospective reporting to elicit information on this topic from an experienced designer. The findings show how a designer practices adaptivity in duration, explanations, and approach to access experiences during in-situ evaluation of a technical prototype. Insights from this case show the need for reflecting on the potential impact of adaptivity and discussing in the field how adaptivity should be practiced to add value to the work of designers in dementia care contexts.
