This document summarizes a review of literature on value sensitive design (VSD) for assistive technologies that address age-related cognitive decline. The review found that VSD has focused on technologies that support physical functioning but not relationships or social personhood. The authors argue that issues of power in the understanding and application of technology need to be considered for VSD to help technologies better support personhood during cognitive decline. They propose a conceptual framework for VSD that incorporates an understanding of power relationships to design technologies that empower rather than dominate individuals experiencing age-related cognitive changes.
