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
7 1. Perceptual
8 * Blind
9 * Partially sighted
10 * Deaf
11
12 2. Motor
13
14 * Limited motion
15 * No use of limbs
16 * Use of mobility assistance
17
18 3. Cognitive
19
20 * Dementia
21 * Down's Syndrome
22 * Autism

24 == Participatory Design ==
25 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.
26 Researchers would get a deep understanding of users and their needs so that they can empower users.

29 == SCE and Inclusive Design ==
30 In the SCE process, inclusive design is also an important part. There is no generic "disabled user". Creating different personas and scenarios helped us to consider a more robust user.

32 1. Personas and scenarios
33 Envision diverse users
34 2. Design patterns
35 Address possible social, cognitive, affective, and physical differences
36 3. Evaluation
37 Involve diverse users

39 == Our Design ==
40 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:
41
42 === Deaf patient ===
43
44 Use of redundant information leveraging both audio and visual channels of communications between Pepper and the PwD
45
46
47 === Price ===
48
49 Need to do the maths, because it might be that Pepper's cost averages out.
50
51
52 === Different needs ===
53
54
55 We paid additional details to not make wrong assumptions about our users. By not stereotyping, not patronizing, or stigmatizing the patients.
