User‐centered design to examine interaction of people with MCI or dementia with smartwatches: the SAMi intervention study framework
Abstract Background Assistive technologies show promising features to support people with cognitive impairment in daily life, e.g. mobile sensors for falls detection. But adoption of the rapidly evolving technologies is still limited in practice. We applied user‐centered design to investigate factor...
