Designing an ICT Solution for the Empowerment of Functional Independence of People with Mild Cognitive Impairment: Findings from Co-design Sessions with Older People

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MICI) symptoms are one of the main issues that contribute, in older people, to the difficulty to live independently, social isolation and loss of autonomy. INFINITy solution provides a set of services aimed to reinforce and support the daily routines of people with MCI for both indoor and outdoor scenarios. A co-design session with end-users were performed in order to better adapt the INFINITy solution to the needs and characteristics of the target beneficiaries. Results show the feedback received form end-users regarding different aspects of the solution such as: functionalities, use cases, and interfaces. The results were useful to improve the INFINITy solution to better address user’s needs and preferences.
