Abstract
Mild Cognitive Impairment affects significant numbers of people aged over 65. It is growing in prevalence and poses many challenges to independent living. This project examines the case of a multidisciplinary group of subject matter experts engaging graduate design students to investigate and solve specific challenges in this area. Goals included exploration of new solutions and enhanced training of the student participants. Results highlight the importance of end user involvement in development and training.
