Care Phone

Client: Stephen Devlin, Sensors CDT <sd2030@cam.ac.uk>

Many older people find the full functionality of a system like Android, with its multiple apps, too confusing or difficult to use. Your task is to design a customisable replacement that can be configured remotely by a trusted person such as a child or sibling, and displays only a very small range of options to the user (e.g. “call Stephen”, “Listen to Radio 4”, “Watch Last episode Eastenders”). There will be difficult design decisions as you trade off generality with security.
