Abstract(s)
Este estudo, realizado na área científica do Design, dentro das disciplinas do Design Visual e do Design de Interação, procurou desenvolver uma aplicação que permitisse aos cuidadores informais tratar dos doentes de Alzheimer de forma organizada e interativa, mas também ajudar os cuidadores a lidar com a enfermidade. Foi ainda desenvolvida a marca “net.a”. A ideia de desenvolver uma solução digital para cuidadores de doentes de Alzheimer surgiu da constatação da falta de informação existente e da falta de apoio existente aos cuidadores (sobretudo os informais). Ao desenvolver a interface digital “net.a”, teve-se em atenção as necessidades cognitivas dos utilizadores e procurou-se conceptualizar uma interface que fosse ao encontro das necessidades do público alvo pretendido. A metodologia adotada para projeto, coerente com a abordagem do Design Centrado no Utilizador, foi adaptada da proposta de Vijay Kumar (2013). Tendo em conta a abordagem do Design Centrado no Utilizador adotada, este estudo apresenta análises de produtos de referência, uma sessão de focus group e testes de usabilidade (card sorting e think aloud), que tiveram uma grande influência para as decisões finais do projeto.
The aim of this study, within the areas of Visual Design and Interaction Design, is to develop an application that would allow caregivers to take care of Alzheimer's patients in an organized and interactive way. It also aims to offer support for caregivers on how to deal with illness. This is accomplished through the creation of the brand “net.a”. The objective of developing a digital solution for caregivers of Alzheimer's patients stems from the lack of existing information and support for caregivers, mainly the informal caregivers. The user’s cognitive needs were taken into account when creating the interface which was designed fulfill the needs of the intended target users. This project’s methodology was consistent with the User Center Design approach and it was based on the methodology proposed by Vijay Kumar (2013), however it was adapted to the needs of this project. Taking into account a User-Centered Design approach this study includes analyses of reference products, a focus group session and usability testing (card sorting and think and speak aloud), which have had a major influence on the final decisions of the project.
