  • What Health Topics Older Adults Want to Track: A Participatory Design Study

    Jennifer L. Davidson, Carlos Jensen · 2013 · Proceedings of the 15th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '13)

    This paper presents a participatory design study investigating what health topics older adults (aged 65+) want to track using mobile health (mHealth) applications. The authors argue that most mHealth app developers fail to conduct needs assessments with older adult end users,…

  • AphasiaWeb: A Social Network for Individuals with Aphasia

    Hannah Miller, Heather Buhr, Chris Johnson, Jerry Hoepner · 2013 · Proceedings of the 15th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS)

    This paper presents AphasiaWeb, a social network designed specifically for individuals with aphasia, an acquired language disorder typically resulting from stroke or head injury that impairs speaking, writing, and language comprehension. The authors argue that mainstream social…
