Conclusions
The work presented here provides a snapshot of our larger research endeavor to design
interactive multimedia artifacts for people with dementia to support reminiscence
and communication with others. We presented six probes that were designed based on
a first phase of exploratory field research. The probes were used in several field studies
to observe reactions from people with dementia as well as an organized workshop with stakeholders from the care domain. We presented our preliminary design insights
from these studies. In the future we intend to extend our investigations and provide
general guidelines for the design of interactive multimedia artifacts that support people
with dementia in reminiscence and communication in different care settings.
