Steve:

I agree! And, I would love for us to get your friend's input, personally. I
think the more information we have, the better.

Does he have any information about the cultural differences with Dementia
and technology as it plays out in other (non-Western) contexts? I'm curious
about the fixed nature we assign to "best practices" for navigation in
particular that may not align with a high context culture and how to
support older users.


Cheers,
Elle
