Co‐creating CUE‐D: A Voice Assistant for People Living with Dementia

To date, we have iteratively developed and tested CUE-D with 12 people living with dementia (66.7% male). Participant feedback has iteratively refined our user testing methods and components of the app (e.g., adjusting pauses between user input and the app's voice instructions). VUS scores (with higher scores indicating greater usability) have increased with design updates, and 75% of participants have completed all assigned tasks. One participant shared: "I would use it for a lot of things around the house." We continue to work on recruiting more end users to test the latest adaptations made to CUE-D CONCLUSION: Supporting people with dementia to continue their daily activities can enable individuals to live at home longer and reduce the need for caregiver support. Large language models offer the opportunity to tailor support to the specific needs of individuals living with dementia. This can relieve or delay pressures on families and the formal health and social care systems while respecting the individuality and personhood of people with dementia.
