1 Inclusive design is a design process in which a product, service, or environment is designed to be usable for as many people as possible, particularly groups who are traditionally excluded from being able to use an interface or navigate an environment.

3 The objective of inclusive design is to make artifacts accessible to and used by as many people as possible in a wide variety of situations.

5 For our case, it is necessary to have a universal design that is inclusive to a variety of people that may have different handicaps:
6 1. Perceptual
7 * Blind
8 * Partially sighted
9 * Deaf
10
11 2. Motor
12
13 * Limited motion
14 * No use of limbs
15 * Use of mobility assistance
16
17 3. Cognitive
18
19 * Dementia
20 * Down's Syndrome
21 * Autism

23 There is no generic "disabled user". Creating different personas and scenarios helped us to consider a more robust user.

25 Our design was already made for people with dementia. However, this lecture and the feedback from the presentation of the previous week helped us to consider two more general cases:

28 === Deaf patient ===
29
30 Use of redundant information leveraging both audio and visual channels of communications between Pepper and the PwD
31
32
33 === Price ===
34
35 Need to do the maths, because it might be that Pepper's cost averages out.
36
37
38 === Different needs ===

41 We paid additional details to not make wrong assumptions about our users. By not stereotyping, not patronizing, or stigmatizing the patients.

47 = Participatory Design =
48 Participatory design means involving users in design from the earliest stages. It can help researchers to interact with patients and develop functions that are neglected from the earlier stages.
49 Researchers would get a deep understanding of users and their needs so that they can empower users.
