Why is this needed?

• Our aim is to improve the quality of time spent
  by older adults at the Geriatrics clinic at BMC.
• Older adults wait for an average of 20 minutes.
• System should not only be entertaining but also
  informative.

Our Users

• Primary Patients
• Secondary Doctors and other staff
• Tertiary BMC Management
• Facilitators
• Patients are over 65 years of age. Spoke
  different languages and had very limited computer
  skills.

4
Tasks

• Patients expressed a desire to be able to play a
  game. Most of them like to play card games.
• Idea was to be able to combine a very simple game
  with information.
• Patients wanted to get more health related
  information. They said they would use magazines
  if available.
• Idea was to be able to give users to view the
  body and get information.

5
Contd..

• Patient complained that posts on the bulletin
  board were too small to read.
• Its so small, I can hardly read it
• We tried to solve this problem by incorporating a
  slideshow in the project. This slideshow replaces
  the bulletin board.

Design Considerations

Module 1 Playing a Game

• A move is as simple as pressing a button.
• The buttons are bigger in size to enable the
  target user to press them easily.
• The use of showing scores encourages the user to
  take interest while playing the game.
• The Font on the buttons and on the screen is
  large enough for the target users to read.

8
Module 2 Health Information

• Showing a picture of a Human body gives the
  target users a better idea of which part of the
  body they would be interested to learn about.
• Use of selection of a specific part of the body
  makes it easier for getting information about a
  specific part of the body.
• Limited information is provided to the user to
  maintain their interest and avoid the use of
  scrollbar.

9
Module 3 Slideshow

• This module was designed to allow users to get
  helpful information without navigation through
  the application. Just Sit Back and Read !!!
• No interaction was required by default, but if
  users want to get information in detail,
  navigation options were available.
• The Font of the slides was large enough and
  mostly pictures were used for better
  understanding.

10
General Design Considerations

• The Navigation menu was always shown for users to
  navigate to any other module quickly.
• The overall design of the application was kept
  consistent to avoid confusion.
• Help menu was always provided to the users if
  they get stuck up at any stage or module.
• Pictures were used for better understanding.
• Message boxes are displayed at correct places to
  confirm user action.

Prototype Evaluation
13

• Paper Prototype
• Real-time feedback on our prototype.
• This application is user-centric and paper
  prototype really helped in analyzing the basic
  problems.
• Major findings
• Positive feedback on overall design.
• Playing game is difficult on paper.
• Help not really used.
• Simple instructions on each page.
• Use of images rather than text.
• Settings difficult for user to operate.

14

• Heuristic Evaluation
• Feedback of Heuristic evaluation from classmates
  helped.
• Bigger button size, font size - ease of use of
  UI
• Winning the game pop up - Mapping and Metaphors
• After winning the message box does not give any
  options feedback
• Difficulty in touching small parts in Anatomy-
  Grouping
• Two clicks to flip a card Consistency
