This article is about how a team came up with designs to help elderly people living in a care home. After getting to know the residents of the care home and all the experiences that came with it, they decided to produce prototypes such as the photostroller. This was a photo flicker that was meant to engage the residents with one another over viewing the photos. They came up with future designs and researched into other things that could potentially help the elderly overcome feelings such as loneliness. The notes on the right are what i wrote about the article.
