THESIS
Inclusive Design and Modeling: A Two-Phased Approach to Designing Dementia Caregiver Empowerment Interventions
The primary focus of the research was to develop a practical approach for the inclusive design of an android application based on the design wheel methodology using personas and user journeys. Furthermore, a simulation study (physical and computer) was conducted using Cybersociophysical System to examine the possibility of developing interventions that prevent agitation episodes in the person with dementia.
