(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-10-25) OLIVEIRA, Regina Mares de Souza; FÜLBER, Heleno; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5018616409948511; MERLIN, Bruno; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7336467549495208; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7327-9960
The advances in digital technologies and the widespread use of smartphones have greatly changed the way people communicate, mainly through social platforms. At the same time, the sharp growth of the elderly population raises the question of the relationship of the elderly and the new digital media, especially with the Covid-19 pandemic that has conditioned social isolation. This research aims to investigate the communicability of the interaction of elderly users with the WhatsApp application. Methodologically, it began with a systematic review of the literature, later, a case study was conducted with a group of 10 elderly, applied the Communicability Evaluation Method of Semiotic Engineering with the objective of knowing and explaining the communicative problems of use and relating them to the characteristics of the elderly. The results indicated interaction problems related to the attribution of meaning, perception, recognition of icons; indicated the most frequent communicability ruptures; indicated low vision as the most common change of aging; presented reports of the experiences of use of the elderly and also regarding the satisfaction and classification of the service.

IZAP: redesign do aplicativo WhatsApp para o público idoso
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2025-04-17) MIRANDA, Samara da Rocha; MERLIN, Bruno; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7336467549495208; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7327-9960
With the increase in life expectancy and the advancement of technology, the elderly public's access to the internet grows together as a means of entering the digital world, a movement accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. On the other hand, the conditions inherent to age, such as memory loss, low vision and reduced motor capacity that interfere with learning to use technologies, causing the need to adapt existing technologies in the market. Based on previous studies that analyzed the communicability of WhatsApp from the perspective of the elderly public, this work proposes a medium fidelity prototype of WhatsApp without the need for a final application built by the Figma tool to have the functionalities that allow simulate the necessary elements to evaluate the communicability between the user and the designee based on the Communicability Assessment Method - MAC of Semiotic Engineering to compare the results of the previous work done with the native application and the prototype.
