Android UI without buttons?

Question

I am trying to create a TABLET android application for my grandmother, who suffers from mild cognitive reflection. One of the features of the app is smart schedulers / reminders. For example, the application says: “Have you taken a red pill?” Yes or no. If it is not there or not, then a text message is sent to my mobile phone.

Now her hands are trembling and trembling, therefore, although the buttons are huge for “Yes” or “No,” she is usually mistakenly mistaken. Is there an alternative to creating a user interface so that it does not depend on a button? Please, help....

Answer 1

Although I don't know about android, I have a workaround with a design idea:

Let there be only one big button: “Yes”. If she did not take the pill, then she should NOT press the button, but rather go and take the pill, and then click “yes”. Until then, the application will periodically ask a question every 30 seconds (maybe with an audible alarm).

Answer 2

You can ask her to touch the right or left corner ... or copy the form from left to right for yes and from right to left to no.

We have an accelerometer. So that we can tilt it in different ways or rotate it. Or knock it once for yes and twice for no.

You can use voice commands. You can use the camera as input. For example, display a red card for no and gree for yes.

You can even use NFC tags ... or connect large hardware buttons or some kind of keyboard ...

Answer 3

You can use speech in the text. if she says no, then match it with the string "NO", and if so, then the match will be with "YES." OR you can use napkins as left to right for no and right to left for yes

Answer 4

Perhaps you can increase the touch area, for example, half the screen for YES and another for NO. And replace the texts with colors such as Green or Red.
