The design of a mobile platform providing personalized assistance to older multimorbid patients with mild dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Management of multiple chronic conditions introduces demanding challenges for patients. This situation becomes more complex when multimorbidity is associated with dementia. In this paper, we present the design of a mobile Patient Empowerment Platform that enables older multimorbid patients with mild dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to easily follow their complex care plans and increase their adherence. We focus on the presentation of the human-centered design process that we have followed with the involvement of patients, informal caregivers, and healthcare professionals via the clinical pilot sites of the CAREPATH project. We elaborate the design challenges we have faced and present the iterative mock-ups that have been created in cooperation with end users to address these challenges and the final PEP design.
