“…Design decisions were informed both by prior research on anticholinergic use and usability principles for older adults. [35][36][37] For example, Brain Buddy used linear navigation, large fonts, and minimal scrolling. The team consulted the risk visualization literature [38][39][40] to identify multiple ways to communicate anticholinergic risk, then comparison-tested the alternatives.…”

Background: Mobile health technology can improve medication safety for older adults, for instance, by educating patients about the risks associated with anticholinergic medication use.Objective: This study's objective was to test the usability and feasibility of Brain Buddy, a consumer-facing mobile health technology designed to inform and empower older adults to consider the risks and benefits of anticholinergics. Methods: Twenty-three primary care patients aged ≥60 years and using anticholinergic medications participated in summative, task-based usability testing of Brain Buddy. Self-report usability was assessed by the System Usability Scale and performance-based usability data were collected for each task through observation. A subset of 17 participants contributed data on feasibility, assessed by self-reported attitudes (feeling informed) and behaviors (speaking to a physician), with confirmation following a physician visit.Results: Overall usability was acceptable or better, with 100% of participants completing each Brain Buddy task and a mean System Usability Scale score of 78.8, corresponding to "Good" to "Excellent" usability. Observed usability issues included higher rates of errors, hesitations, and

“…As outlined above, one of the core cognitive deficits with increasing age is the inability to separate relevant from irrelevant information (see also [1], [3]). Thus, visual search for a particular feature (e.g.…”

Recent information technologies may support elderly people in living independently even when they become immobile. Most computer systems, however, are hard to use when age-related impairments increase. While sensory and motor deficits can be alleviated by built in accessibility tools, cognitive alterations with increasing age are often not addressed. Here, we present an approach that intends to evaluate the adaptation of interfaces based on individual capabilities.
