“…Our results also highlight that the tangible nature of the devices was useful, particularly for those older adults who have arthritis or other musculoskeletal difficulties. Given that arthritis is a common condition, particularly in later life [4], and that musculoskeletal difficulties can limit the ability of an individual to control a GUI [46], it appears as though a tangible device is much more suitable for use by older adults.…”

The global population is ageing, leading to shifts in healthcare needs. Home healthcare monitoring systems currently focus on physical health, but there is an increasing recognition that psychological wellbeing also needs support. This raises the question of how to design devices that older adults can interact with to log their feelings. We designed three tangible prototypes, based on existing paper-based scales of affect. We report findings from a lab study in which participants used the prototypes to log the emotion from standardised emotional vignettes. We found that the prototypes allowed participants to accurately record identified emotions in a reasonable time. Our participants expressed a perceived need to record emotions, either to share with family/carers or for self-reflection. We conclude that our work demonstrates

“…In the developed software applications, for example, (Trewin et al 2006) presented a click-assist technology, Steady Clicks, to address some of the clicking problems of elderly people and people with Parkinson's disease. Similarly, (Salivia and Hourcade 2013) proposed PointAssist, a personalized software that detects difficulties by analyzing a set of movement of people with motor impairments during pointing tasks. The cursor speed can be modified to adapt users in a flexible way to the needs and comfort.…”

Computer tools allow to ease the daily life of everyone, especially for people with disabilities. The optimal choice of pointing interfaces or types of settings can be difficult to achieve. Although there exist a few tests to compare and evaluate the performance of computer access technology (CAT), most of them only provide results as qualitative terms. Besides, the current choice is based mainly on clinical observations or non-standardized tests. To objectify the recommendations in CAT, support funding for people with disabilities and measure the functional repercussions of a therapeutic action, it is necessary to carry out comparative tests with measurable criteria. This paper presents the development of a personalized, free, and dedicated evaluation platform of pointing interfaces and assistances. The quantitative evaluation process is described in detail, such as the configuration of different exercises with settable parameters that permits to build a customized evaluation process with increased difficulties, the definition of performance indicators and the statistical analysis methods for quantified comparative tests. Finally, we present the assessment results of four people with different disabilities using multiple pointing interfaces, which verify the effectivity of this evaluation platform with the help of occupational therapists.

“…There are lots of research proposing interaction techniques to assist people with upper body motor impairments to use their motorimpaired upper limbs to interact with information devices. Cursor based input techniques like PointAsist [11], Steady Clicks [13] and Click Control [5] have been developed for better pointing performance. Wobbrock et al [15][16][17] experimented the use of physical edges to assist motor-impaired users and proposed Barrier Pointing [4].…”
