Dementia
A group of progressive neurological conditions that affect memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, language, and judgment. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form. Dementia significantly impacts how people interact with digital technology, often requiring simplified interfaces, consistent layouts, visual cues, and caregiver-configurable settings. Designing for people with dementia emphasizes reducing cognitive load, supporting recognition over recall, and providing multimodal feedback.
