The third design, explores the possibility of making all tasks accomplish-able by search. So anything that someone wants to do - it is done by search.. After logging in, John types "stories" in the search bar.. with the help of autocomplete, choses "medical stories". The view is updated to show that. He answers the questions he wants to, just like in the first design. Then he types in "dealing with loss video" and he sees the options of "Paul - on Life and loss", clicks on it. The view is updatedd to show the video streaming. He likes him, and adds him as a friend.

This design focuses on the chat or ‘join’ component of the scenario. Cleverly named “coffee chat”, this associates a chat room to a warmer, more human, part of senior life – like their afternoon tea time with friends. The interface itself is standard, with the option to create a table or join a table. Once clicking on join table, you would be brought to a new page with participants on top and the option to add audio, video or text.

This design focuses on the consolidation of friends and family in the scenario. In a tab called “my friends”, the user has the option to find a friend by alphabetical listing of their first name, similar to an address book in real life. It brings up a contact card, which is similar to a business card and displays relevant information. The bottom part shows the converse of display – input or adding a new friend. It has various fields if it’s a brand new identity or the option to add a person already in the network.

This design focuses on how the user finds information. It uses a Q & A format with multiple choice. For example, one asks “what would you like to do” and three options which are “find a friend”, “chat about a subject”, “see what people are talking about”. This multiple choice format structures information in a way that’s easy for seniors to digest and make choices. It’s simple and safe.

This design assumes there are three main categories of tasks for an elderly who’s logging in on the site. They are ask, answer, and join. Ask could be asking someone or a group about a topic, answer would be contributing to a topic or a specific question or person, and join would be joining in on a live chat or joining in conversation with family members. The three scrollable ribbons differentiate each type of task.
