Description
Neil Charness and co-authors design guides that teach older adults with weak memory to use travel apps, in work from 2023. The AUGMENT project helps adults whose sense of direction has been hurt by stroke, brain injury, or early memory loss. Two apps, Uber and Google Maps, can open up trips for them if use feels safe.
First the team asked 300 older adults what made wayfinding hard; memory woes topped the list. Talks with impaired users and their care partners shaped a set of design rules. Guides should point the eye to the right spot, keep extra load low, and space out recall drills. Draft guides for both apps were then honed in rounds. A full test of how well the guides work is planned.
