Description

Cristina Bosco and a large team compare three tech tools for dementia information. Their usability study from twenty twenty-four serves older Black adults in the United States. This group faces double the dementia risk of others. It also shows the lowest dementia health literacy nationally.

Voice assistants, chatbots, and a mobile app were tested separately. Fifteen older adults tried each tool in a simulated setup. A hidden human operator powered the tools during testing. The method is called Wizard of Oz usability testing. Each tool showed different strengths for finding health information. The study centres the needs of the highest-risk group. Designers learn which format suits which information task best.
