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.
