User experience testing and user research for design revise. For caregiver, it is inconvenient to always turning iPads around and handing it to others. They would like to interact in more intuitive ways to enlarge, rotate, and move the materials. For the elderly, the information for one at a time is still too complicated, the interface is too small for them to read. They consider the iPad in front of them as their own map.
