“…Researchers used an augmented reality system called GhostHands to build upon similar types of task prompting tools, with the platform offering multi-sensory prompts that involved primary visual and auditory cues [136]. CoasterChat's designers, Diks et al, also found that the instructions accompanying the app pilot were most well-received when they combined visual movements and auditory instruction [25]. This approach has also been taken in commercially available systems, such as MapHabit, which pairs visual with audio or written instructions to support everyday task completion [20,72].…”

Clinical researchers have identified sensory changes people with age-related cognitive changes, such as dementia and mild cognitive impairment, experience which are different from typical age-related sensory changes. Technology designers and researchers do not yet have an understanding of how these unique sensory changes affect technology use. This work begins to bridge the gap between the clinical knowledge of sensory changes and technology research and design through interviews with people with mild to moderate dementia, mild cognitive impairment, subjective cognitive decline, and healthcare professionals. This extended version of our ASSETS conference paper includes people with a range of age-related cognitive changes describing changes in vision, hearing, speech, dexterity, proprioception, and smell. We discuss each of these sensory changes and ways to leverage optimal modes of sensory interaction for accessible technology use with existing and emerging technologies. Finally, we discuss how accessible sensory stimulation may change across the spectrum of age-related cognitive changes.
