Abstract

This chapter briefly describes a co-design project with people living with dementia, family care partners and clinical teams to create DataDay – a self-management app with an accompanying memory services portal. The project utilized the TUNGSTEN (Tools for User Needs Gathering to Sustain Technology ENgagement) approach of working with the users of technology as experts. Over seven months, four interactive sessions took place examining interactions with smart devices, current device and app use, and prototyping the DataDay interface and portal. This chapter focuses on the co-design sessions with people living with dementia and family caregivers and illustrates the benefits of the TUNGSTEN approach for co-designing with this population.
