Sequence: Design Thinking: AI App for Elderly Dementia Patients
Description:
Design Challenge:

How might we design an AI app that supports elderly dementia patients—who may not be tech-literate, may feel anxious about their condition, and want to ask questions or seek help—in a way that is simple, reassuring, and respectful?

Keywords: Design thinking

Delivery Mode: In class, online, hybrid

Learning Outcomes
By the end of this lesson, learners will be able to:

1) Apply design thinking principles to a real-world, human-centred healthcare challenge.

2) Demonstrate empathy by identifying the cognitive, emotional, and technological needs of elderly dementia users.

3) Define a clear, user-centred problem statement grounded in user insights.

4) Generate and refine design ideas that prioritise accessibility, emotional reassurance, and trust.

5) Create a low-fidelity prototype that communicates core functionality and user experience.

6) Use feedback and reflection to iteratively improve a design solution.
