CHI '26Elderly Care & Dementia Support +2

Temporal Snapshots: Probing and Designing for Subjective Time in Dementia

Time is increasingly researched in HCI, yet design often remains tied to normative temporal constructs, e.g., clocks and calendars. This is especially limiting in dementia contexts, where temporal experience is altered. Existing approaches largely enforce normative time and overlook futures, prioritizing the past for…

Mano: Designing for Tactile Experiences in Advanced Dementia Care

Professional caregivers want to provide feelings of security and comfort to people with dementia in advanced care, but limited resources frequently restrict professional caregivers from doing so. One potential solution to make social, non-verbal connections with people in advanced dementia care is the use of artifacts…

Open-ended Play For People With Dementia

The progression of dementia leads to a loss of initiative and agency, halting daily activities, hobbies, or social encounters. Open-ended play can encourage initiative but remains underexplored in demen- tia. This paper explores how technology-driven design can support open-ended play, making social interactions m…

Challenging Futures: Using Chatbots to Reflect on Aging and Dementia

Intertemporal reflection, flexibly thinking forward and backward in time, is vital for one's future planning. Yet, cultivating intertemporal reflection about encountering difficult futures, e.g., developing a progressive cognitive condition like dementia, can be challenging. We assessed people's attitudes towards deme…

Changing Perspective on Data in Designing for Active Environments

Smart solutions provide increasing quality and availability of data. This brings new challenges for designers as it offers novel design opportunities and interlaces disciplines. At the same time, physical inactivity is a big societal challenge and dedicated urban planning and design can contribute to more active lifes…

Design Opportunities for Care Transitions in Dementia: Understanding Informal Caregivers' Experiences Through a Practice-Informed Approach

The transition from home to formal residential care is described as stressful and emotionally difficult for people with dementia and their informal caregivers. While HCI research investigated how technology supports people with dementia at home or in formal care, there still is a need to understand how technology can…

"To Click or not to Click": Back to Basic for Experience Sampling for Office Well-being in Shared Office Spaces

Sensors in offices mainly measure environmental data, missing qualitative insights into office workers' perceptions. This opens the opportunity for active individual participation in data collection. To promote reflection on office well-being while overcoming experience sampling challenges in terms of privacy, notific…

Switch2Move: Designing a Tangible Interface with People Living with Dementia for Initiating and Engaging in Music-Supported Exercises at Home

Dance exercises offer recreational and social activities that engage people with dementia in physical exercise to increase fitness and cognitive functioning. However, there is limited research on how technology supports people with dementia to initiate and engage in music-supported dance exercises at home. We present…

LivingMoments: Bespoke Social Communication for People living with Dementia and their Relatives

Dementia can hinder a person's ability to engage with their relatives. Existing communication technologies do not support people with dementia in maintaining social contact since they are not designed for their abilities and needs. This paper presents LivingMoments, a communication system that enables the engagement o…

Designing for Everyday Sounds at Home with People with Dementia and their Partners

People with dementia and their caregivers aging in place have expressed the need for social, emotional, and recreational interventions at home. Listening to everyday sounds evokes memories and provides conversational cues to support social relations and elicit emotional responses for people with dementia. However, res…
