Abstract
The increasing availability of technology-mediated cognitive stimulation tools is evident in the contemporary landscape. However, the acceptance of these tools by older adults is not always satisfactory. One of the reasons is that some were not designed with the perspective of older adult users. In light of this, user-centered design assumes paramount importance in enhancing technology adherence. This paper aims to elucidate the redesign process of a cognitive stimulation web lab (LABPSI) from the perspective of user experience and based on user-centered design, intending to improve accessibility and appeal for older adults, the targeted end users. Objective and subjective measures were recorded both before and after the web lab redesign to assess changes in participant performance and acceptance. The study included both healthy and mild cognitive impairment participants. Both groups demonstrated improved performance following the lab redesign. These findings suggest that the redesign process, guided by a user-centered perspective, results in a technologically satisfactory product tailored for the intended end users, in this case, older adults.
