3	3	People with dementia are a diverse group of people. Not only do they differ in age, sex, and ethnicity: Their varying cognitive abilities and skills make them even more diverse. This shows how important it is to design a product such as ours with inclusivity in mind. We performed a small study to identify common characteristics of people with dementia that may influence their abilities of interacting with the product.

5		-A first step into identifying these characteristics was made through looking at the risk factors of developing dementia. According to [[source>>https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/alz.12068#:~:text=Age%20is%20the%20greatest%20of,or%20older%20have%20Alzheimer's%20dementia.]], age, genetics, and family history are the three greatest risk factors of developing late-onset Alzheimer's disease.

According to [[source>>https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/alz.12068#:~:text=Age%20is%20the%20greatest%20of,or%20older%20have%20Alzheimer's%20dementia.]], age, genetics, and family history are the three greatest risk factors of developing late-onset Alzheimer's disease. Age appears to be the largest factor: 3% of people age 65-74 have Alzheimer's dementia, while 32% of people age 85 and up have this disease.

	7	+With age, there is also a decrease in sensory skills. Vision and hearing are two of the most common declines. [[WHO>>https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/blindness-and-visual-impairment]] expects to see an increase in people acquiring vision inpairments as they age. For people over 60 years old, WHO reports that [[over 25% of people>>https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/deafness-and-hearing-loss]] are affected by disabling hearing loss.
